Innovation,builders,and nobodies.

There are 3 kinds of people in the world.

The innovators, the game changers. the square pegs in the circle holes. The ones that change things and drive the ones forward. The creative minds that break the rules. The ones who are never forgotten. The ones that acknowledge their (massive) amount of flaws, and work and respect with the builders to help build a team to pull forward. They live and breath their work-it’s always in the back of their mind. Sometimes, they get painfully distracted, and sometimes, they skip out the memories to make their dream come true, which sometimes doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to. But when they do (and if they really try, they will), they build an epic legacy for themselves. They are the ones that live every moment of life to the best. Sometimes, they listen, sometimes they don’t. They are the riskiest of the bunch.

Then there are the builders- the largest of the 3 forces. They are the ones that love their work and home equally. Never distracted. They live life clearly, positively, and securely. They are the driving forces that often make the innovator’s dream become a reality. Similar to the innovator, they respect their counterpart. They live life to the happiest. The builder is the logical one, the sane one that helps things work. They listen and help move the world move forward. They are often the shyer shadow behind the big name, remembered by the innovators and his/her legacy for ages to come.They don’t need risks to pull the world forward- all they need is their positivity and love for what they do to keep the world moving.

And then, there are the nobodies. They are the least important of the 3 forces. They live life negatively, often being the source of fallactic criticism to the innovator, and/or the source of ridicule to the builder. They don’t give opportunities for people to impress, nor do they take opportunities to do something for themselves. They often “settle” on a job and life they’ve been pressured into doing as a result of their own interaction with their environment. Ironically, when they ridicule the other forces, they don’t realize that they are the most useless of them all. Their name is never remembered for more than a generation or two and are nothing special. When they leave, they leave no impact. The world would do just fine without them. Their life is full of gloomy averageness, full of missed opportunities, often blinded by their own cockiness. They don’t create. They don’t really build. They are relatively nothing. Unimportant, and invaluable. But, unlike the other two, they can change. Easily.

All they need to do is grab all the opportunities they can take, and soon, they will find a path. But of course, if they are blinded by their own ability to conform baselessly, they won’t, inevitably becoming nothing but a waste of space that never really lived a life. Remembered by few, lost into the rest.

A life can never be average. It’s either fulfilled or it isn’t. You get this life-this very one-once. Even if you believe in reincarnation, this life you are living in? This one only comes once. Go out there and fulfil it to the best of your ability. Give it meaning. Make it worthwhile. That’s what it means to leave an impact and to innovate your own life. Exclusivity, originality, and thinking differently make it happen.
