Advancement ceases when we stick with the same old because it works for now. While it may be true, it’s necessary to ask ourselves, ‘How long will it continue to work – or is something better awaiting our desire?
A common theme among articles is that employees prefer hybrid work versus obeying a mandate to be in the office and that self-care plus meditation empowers our mind, body, and spirit to do our best.
Another theme among individuals is finding the right balance between work, meditation or exercise, and creative projects. Like anything else, we each have our preference and should adhere to it as it’s the path to commitment. An alone time activity allows the mind to wander, bringing forth new ideas to contemplate.
At Stake Are:
- Coping the best we may with what already exists and the boredom.
- Realizing what matters most to each of us.
- New ideas coming forth in our quiet time, and how to apply them to our endeavors.
- Working quietly behind the scenes to realize whether one idea can work well.
- Taking a calculated risk to advance our goals by implementing the new idea.
As an entrepreneur, it is easier to carve out time to develop a new strategy with possible products included and take them to market. However, an employee needing to meet specific requirements requires private time that is difficult to find. Doing so requires a concentrated effort.
No matter the thought or the type of implementation we test, one overall element to notice and pay strict attention to is our mood. The only drawback for many is that developing and implementing a new idea requires working alone in a private area for an extended period.
The Best and Worst Are Yet to Come
Our new project will likely receive ridicule once we announce it publicly. However, we often find ideas to improve the initial phase in the scornful remarks. Ultimately, the negativity can prove worthwhile. One caution is to step above the commentary we least desire to realize an element we may need to incorporate into the new version.
The other benefit to people openly dismissing new projects or supporting them is that we realize who to avoid and our potential future collaborators.
We know we are on the right track when:
- We are excited to share updates with a trusted other.
- We look forward to working on our side project.
- Enthusiasm increases.
We can position ourselves to succeed once we come to terms with the strategies pointing us in a better direction and the people supporting us. What matters most is our determination to grow, our ideas to blossom, and our dedication to finding the better solution for success to come forth.
Your Story: Willing to Combine New Ideas
No person has all the answers or all the ideas for a successful outcome. It’s necessary to speak with trusted others and do our research to realize a better way to combine new ideas. It necessitates being willing to collect a wide array of ideas and seemingly complementary ones to then sift through the entire bucket list to unveil the cohesive ones.
Take the forewarning that the ups and downs associated with attempting to combine new ideas can sometimes be highly discouraging. For this reason, giving yourself a pep talk is vital to continue forth. However, admit to the bumps in the road to smooth issues out and more easily advance.
Flexibility and a positive mindset become another force for finding better strategies and succeeding. One last step is to share what works well for you and the lessons learned in your journey to assist and encourage those following in your footsteps.
In Conclusion: Willing to Combine New Ideas
The differentiator for those more likely to succeed is being willing to take an occasional calculated risk.
