Once people figure out what they want to change in their lives they can’t wait to make it happen. People are impatient.  They want things yesterday, especially if they think it will help them realize their dreams.

When is the last time you’ve taken stock of your life?  What you’re living, what you no longer want to be living, what you want to be doing, who you want to be hanging out with, learning and growing with and who is holding you back?  It’s a powerful exercise.

So how to begin?  Figure out what you’re tolerating that’s taking the fun out of life.  Why are you holding on to it or to them?  Time to redefine.

Let go of what’s no longer serving you energizing you and making you happy.  Yes, we have choices.  After all the best way to predict your future is to invent it.

Celebrate your uniqueness even what with which you’re not as comfortable and choose a life that embraces that part of yourself rather than force it back into some shadowy existence.  As long as you don’t accept all of who you are, you’ll be at war within. Once you start accepting all of who you are, you’ll celebrate your weaknesses as well as your strengths and let them live in harmony with each other. You don’t have to be all to everyone just someone special to those you choose to have in your life and you in theirs.

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”- Jack Kerouac 

Here’s to reinvention or shall I say re-acceptance?
