Our lives change constantly, and those changes are additions to our life stories that enable us to see past events differently and contribute to seeing our past lives differently.

“How you arrange the plot points of your life into narrative shapes who you are and is a fundamental part of being human.” This is the subtitle in an interesting article titled Life’s Stories, published in The Atlantic in 2015. In that article, Monisha Pasupathi, a professor of developmental psychology at the University of Utah, offered much insight on this subject. She stated: “In order to have relationships, we’ve all had to tell little pieces of our story.”

When we create a narrative about the events in our life, it triggers the conclusions new experiences and knowledge has brought to us. We could conclude that all we did was add clarity to what happened, but in looking back, we have unique insights offering more transparency, and the events themselves take on new meaning. Through this experience, we reinvent who we are.

Quotes about Reinvention

1. "It's never too late to be what you might have been." -- George Elliot

2. "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." -- Lao Tzu

3. "The reinvention of daily life means marching off the edge of our maps." -- Bob Black

4. "Change your life today. Don't gamble on the future; act now, without delay." -- Simone de Beauvoir

I love this Brent! It's interesting because I've actually been doing some internal exercises on this. Recognizing what my "Triggers" are so I can move forward with a new mindset. I'm also incorporating and being mindful of the "three laws of performance" to increase my growth.

"How you arrange the plot points of your life..." I like that; it's not just about what happens to you or what you do, but how you choose to interpret it that shapes your outlook on life.
