Let’s innovate each day!

“All the world’s a stage”, the greatest dramatist had told us. Yes, we perform each day. Most have the same role to play – each day, each month, for all years. Yet there are some, who don’t gather dust with the mundane biological cycle, termed life. They innovate and make each day a better day.

Baden Powell, the founder of scouting movement, in his last message urged the followers to leave this world a little better place than they found it, so that when their turn comes to die they may not regret but die in happiness.

The innovator within us looks for the vent. There is so much achievable but we keep ignoring what our heart wants us to do. We have multiple excuses – collectively termed responsibilites.

A bit of gardening? A little cooking? Reading the book that was purchased months ago with great zeal and kept on the shelf with the rest lot of unread books? Don’t you, at times, feel like singing? Ever wished I can go for the poetic walk, wondering “lonely as a cloud”, “Beside the lake, beneath the trees”? In absence of learning, we give up some day. The day starts and before our thoughts materialise, it ends.

The innovator-within, keeps waiting all life. We refuse to give it the vent. Each passing day makes us redundant. Competition scores over our school-life skills acquired long ago. Fear transforms us. We turn irrational, orthodoxy sets in. Tints of prejudices blocks our vision. The world appears monochrome. We fail to accept the fact that the world is a beautiful spectrum of colours.

Many of our problems are self-inflicted. There’s enough harm we have done to ourselves. Let’s discover the innovator-within. Let’s give it a chance before it’s really late. The passionate “you” has the ability to fit into so many roles. Why just stick to one? Let’s innovate life!
