...reinvention...what can happen when circumstances permit you to evolve. Or, perhaps, force you to evolve. By 'reinvention' we mean specifically taking something that already exists and seeing what it can become. The creative process is very well celebrated. Less so is the recreative process, the adaptation, the compensation for...the thing that's just happened that wasn't part of the original plan. And which requires an urgent solution right now. Bones that have been broken are often stronger after their healing. We propose that the same thing can occur when something -- or someone -- is potently reinvented. Skye Magazine

Regenerating...Reviving...Renewing...Renovation...Evolving... Changing...Transfiguring...Refreshing...Rejuvenating...Restoring...
Successful people may reinvent themselves several times over a lifetime -- or at least many of them have tasted failure, but still gone on to succeed.
My career has morphed several times to get to where it is now.
It used to be that change took place every 7 years, but I think it is now every 6 months. I'd have to put my finger on that stat somewhere, which might already have changed.
Compare that to someone like the patriarch Abraham whose life pretty much stayed the same once he headed out to look for the city made by God. He certainly didn't have changing technology.
I really admire people who try to stay current, while not throwing out the good of the old for the sake of the new. Newness only for the sake of newness may not always be good.
Do you tend to embrace the new? or stay with the old?
Change is inevitable. What is not, is how we accept it or initiate it or go with the flow of it.
