I reinvent myself whenever there is need to reach what I dream. Do you think there is good to reinvent yourself sometimes or to keep doing the old way?
Anyone may change and improve, however the idea of self reinvention seems inherently dishonest to me.
You are who you are, anything else is living a lie, that is a speciality of the religious.
Reinventing one's self is evolving into something better and better. I think that is a good thing. I don't think many would say "I am reinventing myself into a drug dealing pimp. "
Well one of the definitions of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome. So I think if you're not happy with the way things are in your life it would make perfect since to try and reinvent yourself.
You're right!
Sometimes it's the only way
That's true..
I absolutely believe in reinventing yourself from time to time. I look at it as a sort of "spring cleaning." It does the body and soul to learn something new and evolve or broaden your horizons. You can keep doing the same thing over and over again but you might catch yourself wondering why you're running in place. So go out there and experience life,CHASE THE SUN!
yes, like spring cleaning. My mother had reinvented herself. No one knew at all what a nasty, self-centered, violent, child hating mother she was once she moved to where no one knew her. She wrote touching, lovely stories in the paper about her reinvented past. They got awards for being fascinating and such lovely literature.. coming from a woman in her 90s supposably recalling her life. It must be like spring cleaning to reinvent the lipstick on a pig..but it's still a pig. Moral to the story: You'll always still be you. . in a new career or state or just a new hair color or rubicon instead of your usual boring car. You'll still be the person your family has always known you to be.
@Plant1010J before, did she write when she was that nasty, self-centered, violent, child hating mother you knew?
IMO We are all works in progress. Change is an important part of that progress.
Yes, I'm thinking of a number of ways to reinvent myself. The old, same old is boring.
That's very good!
@Sensiwoman7 Shaving my head is one things I'm thinking about to reinvent myself.
I dream for a living, for being on the unique side of things prevents over stressing over competition.
Always something on the back burner.
When I hear the word reinvent I think of a complete and total overhaul of yourself. For example a lazy person turning into a very ambitious person. I say in order to reach new heights you need to grow and at each stage in your life strive for a goal. If you have a goal you have a reason to grow.
If you don't reinvent yourself... how you going to grow? I am not in Kinder anymore.
How does one go about reinventing oneself. I didn't invent myself to begin with.
I tend to be more of a slow evolution kinda person myself. I don't know that I can see myself reinventing. I definitely can't point to any moment in the past that I can say was a fundamental shift for me in that regard.
Slow, over time, is big. You are a wise man.
