Invent It Yourself: Why Waiting Is Outdated (And So Is Complaining)
The World Was Built by People Who Got Tired of Looking for Things That Didn’t Exist
Have you ever opened your fridge, stared into the abyss of leftovers, and thought, “Why hasn’t someone invented guilt-free pizza that burns fat while you chew?” If so, congratulations — you’re human.
But here’s the deal: that pizza doesn’t exist... yet.
And this blog isn’t about pizza (although it should be), it’s about a powerful mindset that changes everything:
If you want something that doesn’t exist, INVENT IT.
This isn’t just a quote to slap on a Pinterest board with pastel backgrounds. It’s a life-altering truth that applies to careers, relationships, businesses, and yes — even weird fat-burning pizza (call me if you make it).
Let’s dig in.
🧠 The Problem with Looking for What Doesn’t Exist
Most people go through life like it's a scavenger hunt:
📍 "Find the perfect job"
📍 "Find the perfect partner"
📍 "Find the perfect app that makes me rich, shredded, and spiritually enlightened by next Thursday"
We search, scroll, swipe, and complain. And when we don’t find it?
We assume it can’t exist.
But here’s a little secret:
Everything you use daily — Google, AirPods, Yoga pants with pockets — once didn’t exist.
Then some overcaffeinated human said, “I’m going to make this thing, even though people think I’m nuts.”
The world rewards the creators.
Not the complainers. Not the waiters. Not the whiners.
(Unless you're a sommelier, then by all means — whine professionally.)
💡 Invention Isn’t Just for Scientists in Lab Coats
When you hear “inventor,” you probably picture a white-haired genius with goggles and a bubbling beaker yelling, “Eureka!”
But invention isn’t limited to gadgets and gizmos. You can invent:
🛠 A system to wake up at 5 AM without cursing
🎨 A new way to teach kids multiplication tables using pizza (again with the pizza)
💼 A personal brand that makes people go: “Whoa, where has this person been all my life?”
Invention is just creativity + courage + action.
🧠 Creativity — to imagine what could exist
💪 Courage — to start before you’re ready
🛠 Action — to build while everyone else is busy doubting
🏗 Analogy #1: Life Is Like IKEA Furniture
You walk into IKEA looking for the perfect shelf.
You don’t find it.
Do you:
a) Cry in aisle 17 and post on Instagram?
b) Go home shelf-less and bitter?
c) Buy random pieces and make your own Franken-shelf that perfectly fits your oddly-shaped wall?
The happiest people? They choose C.
Life’s the same. The pieces are everywhere.
But only inventors take the Allen key of action and turn chaos into creation.
🤯 Why Most People Don’t Invent (And How to Stop Being One of Them)
Let’s call out the usual suspects:
“I’m not qualified.”
Neither was the guy who invented the pet rock.“What if I fail?”
You will. And that’s the entry fee to greatness.“Someone else probably already did it.”
That didn’t stop Starbucks from opening another coffee shop 10 feet from the last one.
Here’s the harsh truth wrapped in a velvet meme:
If you're always waiting for permission or perfection, you’ll be left behind by people who simply started.
🧱 Analogy #2: You're Not Waiting for the Bus, You’re Supposed to Build It
Imagine you’re standing at a bus stop for hours, annoyed the bus never comes.
Eventually, someone walks by and says:
“Buddy, there is no bus. This is an open field. You need to build your own wheels.”
That’s life.
Most people are metaphorically standing in a field with a backpack full of tools, wondering why no one saved them yet.
The truth?
You were born with the blueprint. The driver is you. The time is now.
🎤 Real Talk: What Can You Invent Today?
Here’s a gentle slap of reality (the loving kind):
Want a job that doesn’t feel soul-sucking? Invent a new path. Create your role. Pitch yourself.
Want a relationship that doesn’t feel like a side quest in someone else’s story? Invent a new standard.
Want a life that actually excites you to wake up in the morning? Stop scrolling and start sculpting.
Even this blog post didn’t exist until someone (ahem) typed it into reality.
📦 The Invention Starter Kit: Try This
Here’s a quick, 3-step system to get you moving:
Spot the Gap
Ask yourself: “What’s missing in my life that I keep wishing someone would fix?”Declare the Desire
Turn it into a sentence: “I wish there was a [thing] that helped me [do X].”Become the Builder
Sketch it. Test it. Talk about it. Make it ugly first. But make it.
You don’t need a degree or a 5-year plan.
You just need to be tired of waiting.
✍️ Final Thought: You’re Not Lazy. You’re Under-Challenged.
You’re not stuck because you lack discipline.
You’re stuck because you were meant to create, not just consume.
The world needs your strange ideas.
Your odd combinations.
Your “I know it sounds crazy, but…” moments.
Be the person who invents what they couldn’t find.
That’s how legends are born.

Still thinking about that fat-burning pizza?
Same.
Let’s build it. Or at least blog about it while eating the real one. 🍕
