Personal Reinvention is More than Just a Change of Clothes

A lot of talk about personal reinvention focuses on externals, a new career, some new activity, even some new purpose or cause to start or join. But very little attention gets given to the person you need to become who will be wearing all these new clothes. Who is that new person you need to become, that new re-invented person emerging from where you've been, taking you to where you want to go?

​

True Purpose is an Inside Job

Personal reinvention can only happen by first changing who you think you are, guided by the one constant that does not change regardless of how your surroundings do -- your own unique True Purpose, who you came here to fully be.

 

For agile Self-Leaders, these times are no different than any other

During this accelerated period of personal, professional, and social reinvention, the pandemic is just making the ever-present need to always be leading yourself stand out all that much louder than usual.

 

As the routines and systems we've relied on to define us, things like our workplace, who we hangout with, shopping, eating out, and travel shrink and disappear, these ever-present questions surface more vividly into awareness:

• "Where do I want to lead myself next?"

• "Who do I need to be next?"

• "How can I best fulfill my own unique True Purpose right now?"

 

Acknowledging these questions, being receptive to the answers you hear bubbling up from with inside you, and intentionally acting on them, without external proof of certainty, defines you as a Self-Leader.
