#Steemgigs: Step Out and Venture, Innovation is for Everyone

uyobong (71)in #steemgigs • 7 years ago (edited)

Many times, life seems to afford us a leveled playing ground and a generalized living. We tend to see ourselves so woven with family, friends, colleagues, associates that we end up forgetting how unique we are in our being, purpose and pursuits.

My assignment today is a very simple one. It is a call-out message for everyone going through a painful, hurting and tearful beginning to stand out and make a difference. The charge in this post is specially, for those who have been complacent with the comfort they never toiled for. em>"You grew up to have everything you wanted, such that you've never been creative in your life". You can step out! You can Venture! You can be different and You can make a change

Why Stepping Out?
Some of us are so fortunate to be born into wealthy families where basic needs of food, clothing are shelter met with ease. Such persons seldom see difficulties in life. As such they grow up seeing their immediate family as a future. They get so used to the situation that they will never attempt to get out of the "box" to think for themselves. Their inherited wealth, name, fortune and affiliations made their brains so numb that innovation to them seems to be tales.

I was not born with a silver spoon, yet my hands have carried silver spoons - @uyobong

I see another set of persons who rarely got the basics of life during their toddling years. they learnt toil just as the first letter of the alphabet and they were often told "things shall not always be like this. Work hard, be studious, it shall be well. Lo! at a time so early and unexpected, they got intoxicated with the pains of their upbringing and in their groan to make a difference end up with an innovation.

Stepping out will help you to you to do the following:

Think Differently
See issues in different perspectives
Act Differently
Change the status-quo
Become a solution
Be a change agent
Become an Innovator

"Many people have a view of innovation as a "big deal", that is why many will never innovate. No! Innovation is simple. It is real, it's not for superhumans, you too can innovate."

If you ain't yet an innovator, you never stepped out
Steeping out is a rare gesture, especially in the face of challenge.

If you ain't yet an innovator, you never initiated a leadership role
Everyone is born a leader, yet, leaders are made. Though we all have the potency of taking the lead, some persons are so naive and timid to take an initiative. Innovators are those who take responsibility to set a pace. They constantly seek ways of making a difference to become a reference point. This is what leadership entails. Every time you did NOT hold back that useful suggestion, you just played a leadership role. Speak out for your people! Be a guide to your people and you'll become an innovator. Think!

If you ain't yet an innovator, you never took risk
Our everyday engagement is a risk. Whether you stay at home, in the airplane, office, ship, car, name them. Our moments are filled with choices and making a decision to choose anything from the list of others is in itself a risk. You never knew this that is why you never tried out something different because you were so scared of what it may cost afterall. Think!

If you ain't yet an innovator, you never sacrificed what was your due
Some people have grown up with a wrong training of preservation, such that, they do not know what to preserve and what to let go. Many refuse to sow their seed to bring forth a great harvest, rather they keep to themselves and later discovered that after many years it remained single. Sacrifice is on the steps to innovation. Being ready to let go what would have been of immediate benefit for the sake of the future is sacrifice. Think!

If you ain't yet an innovator, you never served others
Sometimes, we see ourselves grow beyond serving others. The greatest men of all times are men who invested their lives in serving others. Every time we serve; our hearts developed more empathy for humanity and we end up feeling the pains of the victims. Service is the greatest exposure of all time and of course affords great experiences. When last did you churn the position of the boss just to make your subjects happy? Whenever you seek to serve, you'll always seek to give solutions for the problems you discovered. Think!

If you ain't yet an innovator, you are never you
Where is your worth? You've never seen anything good about who you are. What people say matter so much to you. You think you are ugly, too short, not smart, ill-mannered and the list continues... hehehe, You CANNOT be an innovator! Innovators are those who see value in their selves even when what is acting around them speaks differently. Innovators are winners within. they have fought the battles of self rejection that is why they could win out here. BE YOU. You've got all it takes to be successful. You've already been endowed for life and successful living.
