NEW BEGINNINGS /REINVENTING YOURSELF

I am and have always been a firm believer in new beginnings. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to pack up, change your identity and move somewhere new, although you can if that is what you want and can afford to. By afford to, I mean quitting your job, saying goodbye to your family, physically leaving what is familiar to you for the great unknown.

As exciting and adventurous as  this may sound, it is rather drastic. In reality, you are not going to get very far without any money and you do need your human connections be it in the form of family or friendships. So how can you start anew?

First you need to take a very honest inward look at yourself. Where you are and where you want to be. Is it the same or do you find that you're not quite there? If you are not, how do you get there? Truth is there is no such thing as being too late, not when it comes to reinventing yourself, be it in your family life, love life, career, friendships etc.

 On life's journey  there are bound to be "detours" however arriving at your destination is what matters the  most. So be your own cartographer, map out your journey. Sorry life does not give you any guarantees but it does give you boundless opportunities. So be wise, recognize them and make the most of them.

For me, owning a successful company has always been my career goal. I am not quite there yet but I am on my way. I must admit I have taken many "detours" but I find that I am still on the right track. My first step is ECOVISION ,my very own magazine out this June.

What is your first step???????
