"U2, Joshua Tree, 1987: Despite their phenomenal success, U2 felt they had to go away and dream it all up again in the late 80s. Reinvention is also something mere mortals like you and I must consider if we're to avoid becoming life’s roadkill...IMHO!" ~ Keelan
In my previous post “Dead at 30, Washed Up at 50, Buried at 70!” I spoke of life’s roadblock:
First you were born, then you went to school, then college, maybe university (maybe not), got your first “proper” job, career path now in full swing in late 20s/early 30s….and then somewhere possibly in your mid-to-late 30s you hit an existential roadblock. You’re thinking “Damn! How did I end up here!!?
Reinvention: Not Just for Rock Stars and Caterpillars!
Don’t worry, all’s not lost. You can have “you” back! Here’s how: Reinvent yourself! You know, reinvention isn’t just for rock stars and caterpillars! By the way, when I say reinvention, I’m not talking about the mere creation of some phony identity. Reinvention can mean re-discovering who you really are (were); embracing a brand-new “real” you by remaking yourself and living on purpose! The central characteristic here is change. If you don’t adapt and change, you’re likely to become life’s roadkill, leaving other’s whip past you gawking at you bemusedly in their rear view mirror. Life 2.0 is literally just around the corner waiting for you. One simple movement forward (or perhaps even sideways!) and new life will show up.
