Re-invention is the mother of ……?

How would you complete that sentence? How often have you re-invented yourself?

If you think about it, we re-invent ourselves each day… when things don’t exactly go the way we expected, we readjust.

This week you readers endured and witnessed my re-invention of sorts. I am grateful to you for the loyalty and support.

Each Saturday my local Toastmasters club meets; the name of the club is Eclectic Image, which suits us because we have a gamut of members with a wide range of demographics.

I posed this subject question to them during my motivational speech, informing our re-invention begins at conception; and then when we’re birthed; and then as a toddler when we learn to talk and walk; and so and so on.

Even as teeny-boppers we re-invent ourselves, all the while looking for our identity.

Adulthood purports many opportunities for re-invention. We may falter and make mistakes that must be atoned for. But also as adults, we are still looking for that identity, and perhaps, being shaped by the errors of our way.

If the subject sentence were to be finished, I believe it might read like this: “Re-invention is the mother of ME.”

What do you think?

Dream On!

I posted this on twitter, too, but I wrote "Re-invention is the mother of the Middle-Aged Woman, finally allowing herself to BE herself."

Thank you for a great post! I am grateful I found you today via #blogboost.

You needed to qualify from what realm you expected a response Reinvention is often the hobgoblin of dying companies, who lack the ability to progress their offerings for their niche. (Think "New", "Improved" tissues.. Really? What's really different- the box???)
Reinvention is what politicians like John Edwards, Michelle Bachman, Newt Gingrich try- without changing a thing. (Think tissue boxes again.)
So, reinvention truly involves determining what one does, how one acts, and where one wants to go. Mapping the process and changing- really changing. YOU do that and reinvention is the source of continual improvement. Otherwise, it's just slick advertising.

Roy, as I mentioned on FB, I thoroughly enjoy your perspective!
The realm is totally up to the reader ;-)
Now, where is that tissue box???
Thanks for your support!
Dream On!
