Success stories almost always showcase originality, novelty, and creativity. That is why people who want success are always striving to find a niche, or a differentiation that exploits this.
No one is inspired by the "me too." But amazingly, our world has far more "wannabes" than it has originals.
The problem isn't with trying to be original. The problem is with how people think.
Most people don't know how to think in a "progressive" way, because they focus on what "has already been done." It is the mindset of fundamentalism. Do you possess this thinking?
-
"This is how we have always done it..."
- "I can't go against the traditions of the past..."
- "This worked for them, so it should work for us..."
- "There is a reason no one has this idea..."
You see, each of those stems from regressive thinking. It causes people to react to what is, not change what will be.
Change agents are original because they think differently.
- They see positive and negative space.
- They think many steps ahead
- They don't care what others or institutions think.
- They are truly free.
Take your life and its message and put it out there. If it is truly coming from you, it will be original.
Don't worry if people like it. The herd usually hates new ideas at first. It prefers to emulate and compare. Stray from the herd.
Never compare yourself to anything other than yourself 6 months prior.
We can all be the originals that God made us to be. It isn't an action, its a lifestyle of freedom. The progress of the world actually depends on it.
