When you were a kid and you just didn’t know something it might have been embarrassing to admit.
Sometimes the other kids would laugh at you for not knowing the lingo, or not having the right answer.
We learn at a young age to not speak up, or stand out, or do anything that might make us look dumb.
One of the beauties about being an adult is that we get comfortable. We can stay in the same familiar routine and not ever have to relive those days of our youth.
But that becomes a problem.
We get so comfortable being comfortable that we stop growing, we stop learning, and we start going backwards without even realizing it.
You don’t have to go backwards. But like everything else in the adult world, you have to choose to grow.
Reinventing yourself is important.
Learning new skills, leaping into the unknown, starting new things, and creating the life you want.
It’s not helpful to define yourself by the mistakes you’ve made, the shortcomings you’ve noticed, and the failures you’ve had in the past. And yet we do it, and let it hold us back.
The good news?
You are not the same person anymore. You’ve learned, you’ve unlearned, you’ve seen a lot more, and things are different.
Your reinvention can happen on the regular. A new job, a different career, a new relationship, a new hobby… a way to make a contribution.
In what way will you reinvent yourself?
