I find myself to be innovative when it directly impacts me or matters to me. Innovative in ways that make my life and the lives of those directly or indirectly in my community circle better. Well then again maybe I am looking at it from a more centered and closed view but I feel it is better to lead with my initial thought. Then when I think more about it, I consider myself to be innovative beyond ME, the first thing that comes to mind are Imagineers at Disney who are responsible for developing ideas and attractions at Disney Theme Parks. When I think about working in not for profit sector, I'm thinking about how to provide the best service to our communities possible. So I am innovative in the way I live my life and the way I lead my life and that's on larger scale because tomorrow I will not do the same thing, my view will have been altered in some way and I will take some sort of action to create/construct my day in a new way. Hopefully that makes sense.
Look for Ideas Everywhere- to me really touches on the idea that inspiration lives around us not just in the familiar. If we stand in our comfort zone how do we expect to take action. Ideas come from the world outside our window, this kind of goes back to my initial thought on whether I saw myself as 'innovative'. This particularly stands out to me thinking of it now, because I am always looking for new ways of thinking and ways to create.
But I am honestly struggling with the idea "share everything" I believe it can be distracting sometimes. If you believe in your idea then go with it until it fails which is one of the pillars as well. If you fail you are able to share your failures with others to create and think through a more refined product. It's almost like having too many cooks in the kitchen. That's how I interpreted this pillar.
