Guaranteed to show you how to successfully re-invent yourself
If you have decided that you desperately and passionately commit to transforming yourself no matter how much effort, time
and sacrifice that it will take, keep reading, this information is for you. As the well-known expression goes, “The definition
of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expect that you are going to get a different result.” Many of us have
never learned this lesson. We hold on to familiar approaches to life issues when deep down inside we know that we will get the
same result, although unhealthy, one that we are actually comfortable with. Doing something different takes either a very brave
person or a very desperate person. I recommend that you take the bravery route and not wait for you to become desperate, some
call it “hit rock bottom.” Being exposed to someone who is brave enough to transform, or is in the process of transforming his
or herself, a mentor makes a tremendous difference because you realize that it is possible to succeed, “If they can do it, so can I.”
Seek out a mentor, I have broken this down into two parts using an old adage adapted to fit my needs. First, “out with the bad.”
Then, “in with the John good.”
