The Need to Reinvent Ourselves

We all have our own "package" of education, knowledge, hobbies or beliefs that we try to nurture throughout life. There's no doubt that we tend to practice our hobbies more in young age as we tend to be busier later in life with work, family and raising kids, having thus less "me time".

Nevertheless, work might change, kids will eventually grow up and we'll be there wondering where we stand, finding ourselves a bit different of how we used to be. We surely might have grown up in other sides, yet, we may have not been giving ourselves the attention or care in other aspects as well. Yet, it never too late! No matter how old we are, we need always to nurture our inner self, learn new skills, and take care of our inner well being the way we usually do of our look.

We might spend a whole day shopping in the mall for the latest trend in boots and pants, yet remain with the same thoughts our whole lives. Have you ever considered spending one hour per day tackling your thoughts and trying to find alternative better ones instead? If no, then this might be a good idea to try, because the truth is that we are what we think. Our thoughts affect our emotional health, our physical health, our relationship with our family and acquaintances, etc. Every action starts with a thought. If someone wants to change his life, then she or he needs to start first and foremost by changing their thoughts.

There's a lovely Barney songs for kids entitled "Growing, we do it every day". Though it tackles our physical growth, yet the title applies perfectly to our inner growth as well. Reading a new book adds to our growth. So does learning new skills or knowledge.

Taking care of our health is part of our "self reinvention". Healthy diet, the one based on raw organic fruits and veggies and regular physical activities offer tons of benefit to our physical well being. Yet, we are more than a physical body. We have our "emotional" personality, our mental personality, our soul. The addition of our different selves make us who we are, a unique individual, born on God's image and being called for consciousness and increased awareness. For what is the meaning of life if not to rise in consciousness and awareness? And consciousness is only gained through practical experience, not theory at all.

Hence, Reinventing ourselves is a must do at every step of our life; seeking better higher goals is what gives meaning to our life and maybe what we owe to ourselves.
