Reinventing Yourself

We Are In A Constant State of Change

We are constantly growing and evolving. It is impossible to remain the same person you are today even if you would want to. The divine is carrying us down the stream to the great joy that awaits us.

It is up to us not to keep trying to swim against the current. Check in with yourself and see how you feel. It you feel good then you are in sync with your inner being and you are moving in the right direction. If you feel bad you are fighting to go against the current. Look at what you are doing, correct your course, and continue. It is really that simple.

Reinventing Yourself After A Catastrophe

Almost two years has passed since Hurricane Katrina changed the face of New Orleans and its residents. Many of these people are still trying to put the pieces back together and move forward with their lives.

People who have gone through a major catastrophe such as an earthquake or hurricane have an opportunity to reinvent themselves from the inside out. But many do not feel like this is an opportunity at all. Their homes were devastated and they are wondering which way to turn next.

After living through Hurricane Andrew in 1992, I

It Is Never Too Late To Reinvent Yourself

It is never too late to reinvent your life. You can do anything you want to do at any time. Many people feel that they are too old, do not have enough education, do not have enough money, etc. But that is just not true. Look at where you are now and move toward that which you want to become.

I was thinking about Starbucks as I was reading Seth Godin's blog. They didn't even serve coffee for the first few years they were in business. They sold coffee beans but had never considered actually selling coffee. When they poured that first cup everything changed for the company. So it is never too late to change what you are doing to put yourself on a new path.

Does Life Have To Be A Struggle?

As I look back over my life I remember how most everything I wanted to do seemed like such a struggle. Trying to raise children alone, dealing with a major illness, going back to school at age thirty: all of these life events were so difficult for me at the time. I even used the word "struggle" to describe my life to those around me who seemed to be able to do so much so effortlessly.

But I don't think our lives are meant to be a struggle at all. Instead, I believe that we could better serve our inner desires and passion by looking at every event that presents itself as a challenge. We could "do" the things we want to do instead of "trying" to do those same things. I am not saying it will be easy. But nothing worth having is ever easy. For the next week I want you to see every struggle as a challenge. Be a problem solver and not a complainer. See how that works for your life experience.

Finding Your Passion and Writing About It

It is said that 80% of our population would like to write a book, yet less than 1% will ever complete one. Maybe you don't have a book inside you right now, but if you begin writing every day you will find that your life will change dramatically.

I have clients you tell me they haven't written anything since high school or college. Once I get them started they can't stop. If you write something in the morning about what you did the day before or what you will do later that day you will be on your way. Here is a thought:

Writing is the fastest way to reinventing your life. Your passions will come to the surface and you will find great joy when you write. You can become anything you want to through your writing.

Reinvent Your Life Daily

Every day is a new day and an opportunity to reinvent yourself. Begin with 10-20 minutes of meditation or quiet time. Picture yourself living the life you have been dreaming of. This can be difficult sometimes because we are so caught up with the reality of our daily lives. But don't let reality get in the way of your dreams. Whatever you think about and picture in your mind's eye you are capable of manifesting into your life.

We are spiritual beings living a physical experience, not the other way around. Expect miracles from your life every day. Remember that everything in our material world was once the abstract dream of someone. If we did not dream for the future we would not have the things that we give so much value to today.
