I Reinvent Myself Every 6 Months and So Should You
“The art of reinvention will be the most critical skill of this century.” — Yuval Noah Harari
The me you know from today is not the same me you knew from 6 months ago. For as long as I can remember, I would say the following cheesy sentence:
“The only constant in my life is my wife.”
Whether you met me in Canada 2 years ago, in Cambodia 1 year and a half ago, in Spain a year ago, or in India 6 months ago — you don’t know the me from today.
This reiterates my saying from above. I change. I adapt. I reinvent. For better or worse, my wife has had at least 10 “different husbands” during the 14 years we’ve been together.
Most people who know me now know me as a writer. Truth is, I’ve only been writing for 12 months. And I never even aimed to write. Some people know me as a photographer, some people know me as a game developer, and some people know me as a software engineer.
The things I end up doing are all “accidents”. They happen as a result of me willing to take on new challenges as frequently as I can.
By now you might think that I come either from a middle class or higher class family, living in a nice urban area…
