March 2021 Newsletter Time to REINVENT yourself
Time to reinvent yourself
Before you read any further, I want to ask you a question: Are you happy with where you are right now in your life? Be honest. If you could change one thing, or maybe several things, about your personal life or your career, would you do it?
If your answer is yes, then I have GREAT news for you…YOU CAN.
“It is essential that we continue to grow and change in big or small ways…one day at a time.” – Caren Merrick
If you’re not happy with how your life is going right now, then NOW is the perfect time to reinvent yourself. Now is the time to become what you have always wanted to be… to throw out the old, stale, stagnant, indecisive, unproductive, and “happy only once in a while” you.
Once you identify areas in your life that need attention, then it’s time to start the renovation. Below are a few suggestions on how to get going with the NEW YOU!
- Make a list of what you want to add to your life and what you want to subtract from it. You need to write it down, just as you would write down a list of goals. If you write down your reinvention list and look at it every day, you will be able to hold yourself accountable for making changes.
- Accept the fact that the reinvention process will take a while. There are no quick fixes. Take it one day at a time and remember that you are making a long-term change of direction.
“Just as established products and brands need updating to stay alive and vibrant, you periodically need to refresh or reinvent yourself.” –Mireille Guiliano
- Understand that when you start making changes in your life, you will feel some resistance. Guilt and fear are completely normal, especially if you have decided to eliminate certain people from your life. Resistance is the number one reason people don’t make changes. Persevere and work through the resistance. You can do this!
- Get up earlier in the morning. When you do this, you will have more time for activities that will make you a better person both professionally and personally. Start your day with a positive mindset, saying out loud the changes you want to make and what you expect from yourself today. Speaking out loud will bring these changes into your universe much quicker. I start each day by telling myself that I will be productive today and I will be a bright light to everyone I come in contact with. It works!
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” – Harriet Tubman
- Spend time with like-minded people who are working on becoming better. If you’ve been to one or more of my presentations, then you’ve probably heard me say that we are the average of the people we choose to spend the most time with. If you hang out with five people who are broke, you will be the sixth. If you hang out with five unproductive and lazy people, you will be the sixth. And if you hang out with five positive and forward-thinking people who want the BEST that life has to offer, you will be the sixth.
Life is not a dress rehearsal; all of us are on stage right now and every second counts. What do you have to lose by deciding what you want from life and taking action to make it become a reality?
Now is the time to start reinventing yourself into someone with the right mindset, the drive, the desire, and the determination to be everything you have always wanted to be. Everyone you come in contact with will benefit from the positive changes you make. Reinvent yourself not just for you but also for the people who love you and want to see you reach your full potential. When you become a better person, everybody benefits! YOU CAN DO THIS!
If not, now then when? And if not you, then who?
