It's a talent that everyone has, yet they think they don't. The power of innovation. If you've ever marveled at somebody's creative prowess, guess what, you can create and innovate too. It just takes time. Everyone is born creative. The box of crayons in kindergarten were not limited to those who possessed potential; because the truth is, everybody has potential. You know how long it took to learn to ride a bike or drive or to never commit the same mistake again? It's the same with innovation. It takes a bit of practice and a lot of time before this mind function comes easily when called. This article will teach you a few tips on how to bring innovation into your life. Don't listen to what other people say. Follow the beat of your own drum. Allowing for the input of other people will only bring cacophony to the music you are trying to make. If you have an original idea, don't waste your time and effort trying to make people understand. They won't. And the help you will probably get comes in the form of negative feedback. If all those geniuses listened to their peers, we would probably still be living in the middle ages.



Spend time on it. I cannot stress that enough, although, please do not mistake this tip to tell you to quit your day job entirely. Do not. This involves some tricky time management but with a little discipline you'll be able to squeeze both in. Exercise. Take a walk. Run a mile or two. Send all those endorphins coursing through your veins. Exercising certainly clears and relaxes your mind and allows for anything to pop up. Record your dreams. Aren't some of them just the craziest things that your conscious mind would never have thought of? If you've had these dreams before, and I'm sure have, this only shows you the untapped innovative power you have lying within. So jot down those notes. Those dreams may just create an innovative spark in you. Find your own style. You can always tell a Van Gogh from a Matisse. You'll know Hemingway wrote something by the choice of words on the paper. So it is the same with you. People will appreciate your innovation more because it is uniquely yours and that no one else would have thought of what you were thinking. That will let people see how valuable an asset you are.



Don't hide behind nifty gadgets or tools. You don't need the most expensive set of paints to produce a masterpiece. The same way with writing. You don't need some expensive fountain pen and really smooth paper for a bestseller. In fact, J.K. Rowling wrote the first book of the Harry Potter Series on bits of tissue. So what if you've got an expensive SLR camera if you're a crappy photographer? Who cares if you've got a bling--ing laptop if you can't write at all? The artist actually reduces the number of tools he has as he gets better at his craft: he knows what works and what doesn't.



Nothing will work without passion. What wakes you up in the mornings? What keeps the flame burning? What is the one thing that you'll die if you don't do? Sometimes people with talent are overtaken by the people who want it more. Think the hare and the tortoise. Ellen Degeneres once said that if you're not doing something that you want to do, then you don't really want to do it. And that's true. Sometimes you just want something so bad you become a virtual unstoppable. And that is passion. Passion will keep you going. Don't worry about inspiration. You can't force it; inspiration hits when you least expect it to, for those unpredictable yet inevitable moments you should prepare. An idea could strike you on the subway, yet alas, you poor unfortunate soul; you have no sheet of paper to scribble down a thought that could change the world. Avoid these disasters. Have a pen and paper within your arm's reach at all times.

A Lesson In What It Takes To Change

Change Your Behavior, Change Your Life

Author: Janet Daughtry

James Rohn once said, "Unless you change how you are, you
will always have what you've got." Well said. It is true
that perspective is everything. One person sees obstacles
and another sees opportunities. It really does matter how
you see or view things. Even the Apostle Paul admonishes
us to be renewed or "made over" by renewing our minds.

I couldn't help but marvel at a recent documentary I saw
on the life of Nick Vukicic. Nick is a young man with no
arms and no legs. He was born that way. In this
documentary, he is swimming in a pool, speaking before
huge audiences as a motivational speaker and totally
engaged in life. Talk about perspective and a healthy
belief system!

Your unique perspective and the way you "do life" comes
from what you think about the most and what you really
believe. Sometimes we wonder why we do the things that we
do and a better question is what do I really believe?
Your behavior is simply a reflection of your deepest
beliefs.

It is difficult to act outside of what you believe for
any length of time. It's almost impossible. Your behavior
is just following your mental orders. Your brain just
gives out what it is programmed to do. That is why it is
so important what we listen to and what we take in and
accept as truth. Your brain can only work with the
information that it has been given. So if toxicity is
what it is heard, received and taken in, then toxicity is
what comes out. Junk in, junk out! That's why it is so
important who you hang out with and associate with. If
you have negative and toxic people in your life, you may
want to consider distancing yourself from them or maybe
letting go of the relationship altogether!

For example, Susie was told growing up that she wasn't
very smart. She heard the negative message enough that
she believed it, and as a result Susie didn't apply
herself academically. Eventually, she dropped out of
school. Her beliefs simply told her how to view herself.
Those beliefs colored her thoughts, affected her emotions
and eventually her behavior. It's amazing the power of
words! Unless Susie begins to challenge the mental tapes
and self-talk in a new direction, she will always be
affected by the negative message she has believed.

So to re-quote James Rohn, unless we change what we
really believe and the way we think, we will always have
what we've got. You can't afford to be passive with your
thinking and have a changed life! You can't afford to
live with an unchallenged belief system and live a
changed life. Thinking the way you have always thought
and believing what you have always believed will most
likely give you the results you have always had! The most
fulfilled and successful people are those who challenge
themselves with tough questions, examine their own belief
systems and make the effort to aggressively rid
themselves of toxic thinking.
