Reinventing Yourself

According to anonymous, “When something bad happens you have three choices. You can let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.”

Change is the only permanent thing in this world and it means reinvention. Each time we experience a huge change happening in our lives such as leaving a job or moving on from a relationship, or losing someone you love; we have to be in control of who we will be or risk failing by never reaching our full potential.

We should challenge ourselves to leave our miserable lives to pursue our passion and find something that will make life more meaningful. We could all make these things happen if we will just have faith and belief in ourselves.

           Reinventing yourself can be inspiring and alarming both at the same time. We should be confident to trust ourselves in every trials we will face. By that time, we should know what we are striving for and we can start this path by doing a few things.

          We should stop pleasing everyone else because the more we please others, the more we keep what is inside of us. Learn to say no to people sometimes. Let us stop wasting our time in worrying and doubting. If we focus ourselves on negative things or things that might happen, we are just withdrawing ourselves from all the possibilities. Lastly, accept failure and learn from it. When we fail, recognize it, learn from it and move on.

       Sometimes I wonder why we let our own fear, pride or insecurity get in our way so instead of doing it, we let these opportunities slip away. Don’t hesitate by the time we have an opportunity because you are the only one who can pave the way to reach your dreams. Even when that dream slips away, there are still a lot of opportunity for you. There is an old saying that “True courage isn’t about not feeling fear, it’s about feeling fear and acting anyway.” No matter what happens, choose courage instead of letting our fears choose the future for us.
