This post is my ongoing daily participation in
's fantastic Index4Index Initiative. Read his post, and get yourself involved!
Today's Index4Index Daily Inspired Motivation is about constantly innovating what we do, how we do it, and using the elements with which we do it new ways. It's creating novel useful combinations, surprising synergies, and unexpected new dynamics with what we already have.
"Innovation is taking two things that already exist and putting them together in a new way."
-Tom Freston
Innovation is being able to look at our assets, infrastructure, and resources, and see new potential ways for them to be utilized. To do this it is necessary to not only learn to operate outside the box, but rather to throw the box away entirely. We need to be able to constantly look at things from new perspectives, and see with new eyes.
We are all far more creative and innovative than most of us have been led to believe. This is usually beaten out of us as well go through brainwashing camp...I mean school, where such novel ways of seeing things are usually very undesirable. Some rebellious individuals, however, are able to keep this aspect of themselves operating all their lives. Thankfully it is innate, so we all possess this capability. Some of us have simply forgotten, but it can be reawakened at any time.
To help reconnect and reawaken these parts of ourselves, as a daily practice look at your life, your business, your living and working environment, and get into the habit of asking yourself how what is present can be used in new and better ways. This takes practice, obviously, but its benefits over time can be huge! Give it a try! You might surprise yourself!
Remember, dear friends, that we are all in this together, that we rise by lifting others, and that together we thrive, so onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙
