108: Reinvent Your Life

REINVENT YOURSELF What does it mean to reinvent your life? Is it important, and can everyone do it? I believe that self reinvention is not only important; it is the key to being fully alive. I think we really only have two choices. We reinvent ourselves, or we slowly die. Bob Dylan said it best in one of his songs: “He not busy being born is busy dying.” You’ll discover that the theme of today’s podcast is how to reinvent your life. When you listen closely to Jonathan Greene’s story, you’ll hear things that can set you free. My comment suggests that you are not free. Well, I believe everyone desires greater freedom in life, consciously or unconsciously. Here are some of the powerful gems to enrich your life that you will find in today’s podcast: The hidden truth about careers people choose How you can excel at something and still not love it How you can be compelling, confident ,and introverted at the same time The war between MUST and WANT Why your happiness often depends on doing what you WANT The relationship between life and acting The meaning and value of the Social Media Hierarchy As you listen to Jonathan Greene today, you may also begin to learn how unlock the creativity that lives in all of us.
