Conduct cannot lie; manners and
habits cannot lie. This is why it is important to grasp the wisdom that process
brings. What would be the purpose of you being frustrated every day while you
build your business, family, marriage, finances, or church? Hmm…let's
calculate; if there are 365 days a year x 5 years it equals 1,835 days of
frustration for five years. Let's say you realistically had 1 day out of the
week you did not worry or was not frustrated. You had a good attitude about a
work day, a day off from work, a day at the movies, or go fishing without
having frustration. It would be 260 days out of 1,835 days in a five-year
period, which means you were frustrated 86% of the time in a five-year period.
How about you and I appreciate our mountain top experiences, but also learn how
to appreciate and love the steps to get there. "The steps of a good man is
ordered by the Lord." Steps are movements made by lifting the foot and
setting it down again in a new position. Sounds familiar? (Innovation = moving
in newness and creativity). Therefore, in every step there is attainment. In
every step there is confirmation. In every step there is high regard. In every
step there is establishment. In every step there is change. Anybody can quit!
Quitting is not an option to an innovator. Quitting has become prevalent in
this decade. People generally only commit until it gets hard then simply back
off. Innovation should drive you, not make you start something, and along the
way give it up. If Thomas Edison would have given up on creating the light bulb
after failing 9,999 times, he would not be in the history books. He simply did
not quit. Giving up is giving in to the stress and tribulation that comes with
success. To bring a project into fruition, an innovator must stay focus with
the assignment and refuse to let circumstances detain, derail, or distract them
from the goal. There will always be other things that will come up that can
take priority over what you are committed to finishing. But to be a great innovator,
you must stay committed to being a finisher and not just a starter.
