Nurture an Innovative Outlook

To creatively handle innovation is a part of wise living. To know and not to act on what you know is equal to not knowing. One has to see this clearly that, 'if you continue doing what you have done you will get what you have got'. Hence, there is a need for innovation in all walks of life.

Our weakness can become our strength. This is true innovation. One has to focus on innovation in different fields like organization, self, creation of wealth and wellness. All this should result in end user innovation' of being happy, being valued and feeling a sense of belonging.

The organizational research and knowledge management wing should have methods to arrive at and check whether mission and vision statements have just become a jargon..... That is, remaining as sheer intellectual concepts. If it is so, then the very purpose would be lost.

For example, tooth pain is not a concept but an actuality for a person who is undergoing pain. Similarly, jargons like 'cans create success and can't create failure' should be reduced to actuality and not left to be an intellectual concept. It is possible if one persists in one's efforts by seeking answers to powerful, related questions.

Organizational strategy should constantly be alive in all and it should be a working model rather than a concept model. Constantly polishing one's strategy to enhance process, knowledge management and overcome obstacles in execution should be a dynamic process. The mode is one of alertness, as part of organizational innovation. How to keep this alertness alive is an important factor.

Organizational team spirit should always be on a high note so that strength emanates from the team rather than an individual. The health of the organization should be team based. One should not be focused on immediate benefits of strength based on an individual but strength based on teh team that is beneficial for organizational health. Enthusiasm is the mother of creativity; it should be kept alive and not get bogged down by competition.

Self-innovation includes one's attitude, values and beliefs. Attitude is enhanced when the 'state of being is enhanced. To enhance your state of being your body energy and emotional energy should be high. Changing these two states of energy enhances attitude.

The quality of one's life is the quality of one's consistent emotion. Meditation helps one to enhance right and powerful emotions. Emotion is nothing but energy in motion. You get what you focus on. Get inspired by successful role models. Keep these winning strategies dear to your heart.

Innovation of thought is when you turn negative thoughts to positive. For example, thought that comes from deep hurt creates its own dysfunctional groove. Making thought free of inner hurt prevents loss of energy. There is no freedom in seeing since the seeing is bound by the seer. The seer seers and thus pollutes the seeing. A thought which is not free loses power of innovation. So to see without the pollution of the seer is a great part of spiritual innovation.

Innovation in creating wealth and wellness involves doing the right things without worrying unduly about the results.
