Check out my latest book review. About 47 Mins on the timeline. | |  MARVAISMS Reinventing Yourself This past two weeks I have met a lot of people whose lives are in transition. Many at the age when you would believe nothing can go wrong now. Well guess what. Life is not linear. Most of us did not take to heart the old adage( and they are adages because they have been proven true over time) who promised you a rose garden? Of course, if we get down to the nitty gritty, even beautiful roses have thorns. Transitions can be scary. I know, I have reinvented myself a few times and if you live long enough so will you. Each time a major shift happens in our lives such as leaving a job, the death of a relationship, losing a loved one-our lives change. Change forces us to move in another direction. That's Reinvention. I am sharing a few of the things I did during my transitions...I hope they help. The first thing one should do is: 1). Believe in yourself. You will get through it. All those years and experiences have to count for something....find it. And start from there. All the love you had for your beloved...remember it...if the loved one did the leaving such as a divorce...and took all the money...well that's up to you. But maybe number two on this list could be helpful. 2) Leave the past behind. The millions are gone...don't harp on it. That Harvard degree didn't protect you from being downsized but it's a calling card, Use it. Your love one died and you didn't get a change to say goodbye...write them a letter and tell them what you want to say...energy can never be created or destroyed...who knows. 3) You'll need a friend and a good mentor. 4) Take some classes...just for the fun of it...Singing, painting, basket weaving? No money...try an app on your iPhone. Simulation is better than no stimulation. 5) Grieve and get on with it. Stay in the pain until it releases you...but when it does...move forward. 6) It takes time to reinvent yourself. Don't hurry because you're scared...you will find a way. 7) Reinvention has arrived: Hopefully making money doing what you love. 8)Repeat steps 1 through 7 as needed. Life is just not linear.
