How I Reinvented Myself

After Reading the book “Seven Habit of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. I learned that I no longer needed others to control my life through their approval. My life and my choices should make me happy. My happiness could and should be independent of others feelings. He says in the book that your life is like a movie production. And no one should write your “script” for you.

Taking this advice, I started to speak about being wealthy. This is a goal of mine that few believed I could achieve. (We had always grown up in poverty.) I now ignore the poverty mode. I have been learning financial jargon, increasing my financial literacy, putting the bank accounts and checking accounts into place that will help me build wealth, and reminding myself not to slip back into “poor ways of thinking”.

I also have reinvented myself by taking on hobbies that many would consider me old to try or that I could be successful at because I had inclination in trying them as a younger person.

Also my outside changed as well. I am on the thin side. People used to always call me skinny. ( I hate being called skinny, People act as if you have a disease when they say you are skinny.)

I decided that I was the well-shaped one and many women would want to be better weight ( or at least have my proportions: once you took into account their height and bone structure) I restructured my thinking and then went out and started buying clothes that match and finding clothes that accented my best body parts and camouflaged other things.
