Reinventing Yourself

Reinventing yourself by serving others

This weekend I spent two days working at a leadership camp with more than 100 teenagers. It was rewarding because they needed adults to talk to them and to lead them through the various activities. They had breakthroughs that may have taken them years to achieve otherwise.

I had been invited to a conference in San Francisco that I truly wanted to attend. It would have promoted my writing and online marketing efforts, but I had already commited to working with the teens. As I cleaned up the dining hall this morning before leaving, working side by side with the kids I had just spent so much time with, I realized that being of service was more important to me than anything else that I do.

Find yourself and reinvent your life as you spend time in service to others. If you are anything like me, you will see your life so much more clearly after spending time helping others whose lives will be changed forever.

Positive Thinking, Positive Believing

Positive thinking is a nice concept. Thinking that everything you want will come your way because you just have a feeling that it's coming simply doesn't work. You must deeply believe that these things are coming to you in your life. So what makes the difference between thinking and believing? ACTION!

You must take action for anything to change in your life. So think about how you will reinvent yourself, meditate about it, but then you absolutely must take action. It will seem like hard work in the beginning, maybe for quite awhile. But once you get used to the idea of positive believing, magic will happen. This is also called "acting as if". Act as if the things you want have already occurred in your life. Feel that feeling of well-being that you are expecting to come once you have accomplished specific things in your life. When you can call up that feeling at will you will be on your way to positive believing and everything that comes with that expectation.
