Reinvent Our Self? WHY NOT?
The old cliche tells us: WHY FIX THE CAR IF AIN'T BROKE. Very very true. BUT I'll play devil's advocate here. If we take that cliche literally, that's very true, if the car is running smoothly, DON'T even tinker with it. BUT IF we step out of that car stuff, IF we talk about life, just because you're eating your three meals just CAN'T justify that you keep and retain the status quo. In fact, the question is WHY settle for the status quo? Reinvent Our Self? WHY NOT???
Let's face it, in life's journey, there comes a time WHEN the path we're on may NO longer serve us, prompting a deep, internal call for CHANGE. And REINVENTING yourself is an empowering process of transformation that allows you to align your life with your true desires, passions and values. WHETHER you're at the crossroads seeking a new direction WHEN you breach mid-life OR simply wishing to improve on, REINVENTION is a courageous step towards living a life that truly reflects WHO you are OR aspire to be💧💧💧
You might ask, WHAT is it for us to REINVENT our own self? YES, you might feel the call to REINVENT yourself at various points in your life, maybe after a significant life event, WHEN you've achieved a major goal and are unsure WHAT comes next. Way back, that exactly was my situation. I was an I.T. Manager then of one Fortune 500 company to another. So, I asked myself, is this fine when my career seemed to have plateaued? Of course, I said NO, NOT acceptable❎❎❎
So, WHEN I hit that crossroad in my career, I kicked myself hard from behind and challenged myself that I was NOT that person built to laterally hop-in and hop-out [akin to those Hop-in Hop-out tourist buses]. I told myself, I deserve more than this. And I did remind myself that I am capable and equipped with skills going alongside that breadth and depth of work experience, enough to propel me to loftier goals, to greater heights [although the catch is, I needed to reinvest all my time, effort + focus all over again❗❗❗
Our takeaway: Allow me to grab this quote from this poster. YOU'RE NEVER OLD TO REINVENT YOURSELF. Yes, REINVENTING yourself involves a comprehensive CHANGE in your life. And that may impact your personal life, career OR both. It's about making significant alterations to your lifestyle, habits OR outlook on life to align more closely with your values, dreams and goals OR even your outlook on life to align more closely with your values, dreams and goals. WHEN do you REINVENT yourself? I'll throw that question back to you because you got to grapple with an informed decision, very much part of your judgment call💥💥💥
