I said my last blog entry, What Is Reinventing?, that reinventing is a conscious becoming, i.e., it’s essentially an inside job at the core. When that core is understood, then you can begin to find ways in the outside world to express it.

jeffreyPaul, one of the faithful readers of this blog and a Reinventer Par Excellence himself, sent his definition of reinvention in response. I loved it so much that I asked him if I might share it with you.

“Reinvention is learning the core values inside that connect who you are with what you do…it’s making the dream inside a reality for the world to see.” - jeffreyPaul

jeffreyPaul is also a collector of great quotes, and he sent the following one along, which expresses well the goal and outcome of reinventing.

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” - Gandhi

Thank you, jeffreyPaul!
