If It Doesn't Exist, Create It

Original Post from 9/29/2015

HOW TO GET THE EXACT POSITION YOU DESIRE

Decide EXACTLY what kind of a job you want. If the job doesn’t already exist, perhaps you can create it.

 

If it doesn’t exist then create it. ~By Matthew Woods


Creating anything great that doesn’t exist will more than likely be challenging, especially when it comes to a job or a career, but the good news is that it’s not impossible. For 1000’s of years people have been creating things that didn’t exist.


  • William Thomas Green Morton was an American dentist who first publicly demonstrated the use of inhaled ether as a surgical anesthetic in 1846.

  • George Crum was an American native, widely credited with the invention of the first potato chips.

  • Wilbur and Orville Wright were American inventors and pioneers of aviation. In 1903 the Wright brothers achieved the first powered, sustained and controlled airplane flight; they surpassed their own milestone two years later when they built and flew the first fully practical airplane.

  • Kylie Simonds is 11 yrs old and a cancer survivor. She designed an I.V. Backpack for children on chemotherapy allowing them more mobility.

  • An American inventor Oliver Evans made the first design for the refrigerator in 1804 but until 1834 none was interested in the same.

  • Arthur Fry is a retired American inventor and scientist. He is credited as the co-creator of the Post-it note, an item of office stationery manufactured by 3M.

  • As a manufacturer of hair care products for African American women, Madame C. J. Walker, born Sarah Breedlove, became one of the first American women millionaires.


One of the most challenging things to create is Life Balance. More Good News: We don’t need to go into the laboratory in order to come up with a doohickey that will help our days become more balanced. In most cases we simply have to Block Time in order to go deep into thought so that we can come up with ideas that will help us reach our goals. Who knows, you just might have that million dollar idea swimming around in your mind.


If you love what you do, then share your stories with others that may need some inspiration. If you don’t love what you do, then seek out people that do! Read about people that do! Attract people into your life that do! Aspire to be like people that do! Life is short; too short to not strive to be all that you can be.


Getting paid to do what you love is definitely a blessing, but it’s not a situation that will walk up and slap you in the face. In most cases we’re going to need to be obsessed with turning our dreams into a reality, we have to be hungry, we have to believe that we can do it, and most importantly we have to have faith that it can be done.
