Is it time to Reinvent Yourself?

“The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.” ~ Abraham Lincoln

On January 1, we celebrated the first day of our new 2011 calendar year. Do you realize that every day we are blessed to be alive, it is the first day of a brand new year for us? I think this is reason alone to celebrate the gift of life every day we have breath in our bodies.

When we find ourselves becoming monotonous and lackluster in some aspect of our lives, we must do something to rekindle the pep in our step and the glide in our stride! While it is easy to be trapped in a sea of despair and discouragement, we have to snap out of it by doing something to reignite our passion to inspire, dazzle and live! Trials and tribulations have a way of wearing us out, ripping us apart, or trying to destroy us completely. There is so much that we have no control over, but you will be surprised by the amount of things that we can control. These things may not always be tangible, but spiritual. Sometimes this is easier said than done when you find yourself in a situation where it seems like there is just no way out. You try everything possible, but it seems like circumstances keep pushing you back further and punches you into a TKO (Technical Knock Out). Yet, when things seem to continue piling up against you, especially when you try to do everything right, don’t give up. Our valley experiences propel us to grow! To understand how this works, we may never quite grasp the process of how this is done. Instead of becoming bitter, we must get busy. Instead of just existing, you should broaden your horizons and live!

Reinventing yourself is not about creating a façade, but about revitalizing what exists to thwart the imprisonment of obscurity. Reinventing yourself is about self-improvement, not self-exploitation or self-idolization. Reinventing yourself is simply about making a better you through wiser choices, as opposed to the same old, same old!

When you look at a glass containing nothing, do you see it empty or as an opportunity? Stop surrounding yourself with the forces of negativity, for they will shut you down just when you least expect it. If we catch ourselves spewing out venomous attacks towards others just because, then we need to get ourselves in check and stop it. If we find ourselves always tearing down instead of building up, then change your tune.

Even with the marketing strategies that organizations put into place to promote their business, they must frequently examine their plans with their current trend, to keep themselves alive, fresh, competitive and updated. If they fail to do so, they can easily fall off the grid into a hole of obsolescence. That would create corporate suicide.

Under normal circumstances, people quickly become bored with the mundane and obscure. Is it time for a new career? Is it time to go back to school and get your degree or certification? Is it time to update your wardrobe? Is it time to seek out new opportunities in something you are passionate about? Is it time to enhance your knowledge by learning something new to teach and empower others? Is it time for a new attitude, perspective or approach? Is it time to lose weight and get healthier? Is it time to get rid of the clutter and overabundance that is creating stress and chaos in your life? Is it time to let go of anyone or anything that is trying to stunt your growth? Is it time to reinvent yourself?
