This is a follow-up to my previous post, How to reinvent yourself.
Don’t rush it. Energy and enthusiasm are important if you want to make radical changes to your life. However, don’t do it hastily. I know you are eager to become your own boss but it doesn’t mean you have to submit your resignation tomorrow. Significant personal changes require time and deep understanding of yourself.
Don’t do it alone. It always helps to have someone to watch over you while you are transitioning. Find someone who can be brutally honest with you and at the same time you are willing to listen to. Feedback are always helpful in keeping things in proper perspectives and staying on track.
Don’t follow someone else’s dream. It’s one thing to follow your dream – it’s another to follow someone else’s. Sometimes you get envy because your high school friend who always copied your homework is richer and more successful than you, or we get pressured by our partner’s or parent’s expectations. Acting out of envy or pressure usually leads to disaster as Hollywood movies have shown so many times. Remember your ultimate goal is to be happy but it will not happen if you are acting based on someone else’s definition of happiness.
