Embrace Obstacles; They Lead to Innovation

As this school year has started  their have been some challenges and changes that I have had to accept. I have had to determine the things I can impact and the things I have no control over.  It was easy to get caught up in the negative mindset, but then I asked myself “How is this making the situation better?  How is this going to impact my students?” This questioning brought me  back to one of my favorite prayers.  This prayer is not saying that I can not change things.  It is not saying I can not be Innovative.  It is actually saying just the opposite.  It reminds me sometimes I have to be more creative because there will be obstacles.  I need to be able to evaluate the activities and situations and determine if or how I can make a difference. Then, focus on those.  As I have changed my mindset to focus on what I can impact, it helped me to be more productive and find creative options.  It is not always easy, but if we focus on what matters and keep our WHY in front of us... We will be able to come up with innovative ways to accomplish change, within the confines of what we can  control.

Nice reminder, as we begin our exploration of The Innovator's Mindset, that serenity, courage, and wisdom are great tools to have at our fingertips here and elsewhere in our professional and personal endeavors.
