Reinventing yourself doesn’t have to be a huge project filled with bold moves. It’s much easier if you let life, with its warp and woof, shape you. You are reinvented every day, every moment by the choices you make.
Let’s say you’re a baker and that’s just not cutting it anymore. You feel a need to reinvent yourself into a candle stick maker. If you’re not careful, and move your hands from dough to wax, you could get burned.
If you’re knocking on one door and it’s not opening, look around for another that might be ajar. You could find an opportunity to write about baking or teach eager students. A way you hadn’t even considered.
It starts with small building blocks. Knowing the essence of what you want. That is a nice, broad statement which allows multiple ways for the Universe to deliver it to you. Rather than say, I want to be a candlestick maker, you could rephrase it to, I want a career that can make good money and feels fulfilling to me. That opens the door to a lot more possibilities!
Then, you make decisions in the present moment, based on the lay of the land, guided by your essence. What is the next best thing you can do? You could try looking for what feels good and exciting and could move you closer to your goal.
It’s all in how you look at it. You can sit around and feel sorry for yourself, reviewing all your failures. Or could you can start to poke around for some ideas. Small steps are not only allowed, they are encouraged. This brings it down to human size. You are the only one who can decide which ones you’re willing to take. You can feel shitty and be afraid of disasters in the future or you can feel groovy about what it could be. When you put your money in the slot a gum ball may come out, or you could get a plastic container with a toy inside! If you can view life as an unexpected adventure, you’re going to have a much easier time of it.
One thing I know for sure: when you put out energy of any kind, something comes back. And it’s rarely what you thought it would be. But based on what shows up in the moment (what your energy has caused), guided by your essences, you decide what feels best to do next. That’s all there is to it! One action at a time. Things will fall into place without having to strive and work hard. As you watch what’s happening around you, see what shows up from following those groovy feelings. More of the same maybe? You could be creating a trend . . .
