Pressing the Reset Button
Posted By Robin on August 19, 2009
There seems to be a trend whereby signatures now include an alphabet string after the name. It seems to be a way to establish the writer’s reputation but I don’t buy it. It may tell me about your education but it doesn’t tell me who you are. You are what life’s experience has taught you not what you learned in school.
But to set the record straight I will tell you that I have an MBA from WNU.
TRANSLATION: a Masters of Being Alive from What’s Next University!
My MBA is a personal journey of success, failure, love, loss, more love, more success and more loss. Through it all, I’ve become very good at Starting Over, and like Madonna, I’ve needed to reinvent myself a few times. I liken it to pressing the reset button.
Life is a journey. It can be a happy adventure or an aimless wandering. The only difference being that one knows where they are going and the other does not.
What is your dream? Do you have goals? What do you want to do? What would you do with the rest of your life if there were no obstacles to overcome?
Without answers to these questions, we become aimless wanderers.
When you were a child do you remember how quickly and sincerely you could answer the question, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Do you remember the inner voice with the ready-answer? I want to be a policeman or an astronaut or a doctor! The voice was excited about the future. Yet, as we experience each of life’s passages, our inner voice is often drowned out by all of our other experiences and influences: our parents, teachers and preachers, the advertising and news media, our friends and colleagues. Soon we may not even recognize our own inner voice.
When you can no longer hear your own inner voice—your inner media—you may need to schedule a time out. Schedule a vacation. Take a sabbatical. Call your life coach. Give the questions and answers a forum so you can begin to answer the questions your inner media is asking and clarify where you life is headed next.
When you are clear about what you know and what you believe then press the reset button and get back to living the life you’ve chosen to live.
