Hello, everyone, I'm Ruofan
Guan Hanqing once wrote: "When people reach middle age, everything is off." ”
This has made many middle-aged people feel that time is a pig-killing knife, which has worn away our sharpness, so that our spirit and spirit have gradually decreased, and we can only drift with the tide in the long river of life.
But today, I want to tell you:
After the age of 40, we can still reinvent ourselves.
Moreover, the more we reach middle age, the more we should open our minds and Xi re-learn those industries or skills that have long been shuffled.
So, if we want to reinvent ourselves, here are the 5 principles we need to follow:
01.Act now, then review.
The first step to reinventing yourself: Act now.
In the book Edge of Chaos:
"Adults are more likely to act in a new way of thinking than in a new way of acting. ”
This is the reason why many people will be overwhelmed and subconsciously retreat when faced with new things.
Then we can go in 4 steps so that you can act immediately and without delay.
Step 1,Start by making a list of things you can think of but don't do.
Step 2,Sort through the items one by one, and divide the items into a list of immediate actions, a list of next actions, a waiting list, and a future list. Even down to the smallest steps to make it clear how to do it.
Step 3,Act now and put your heart and soul into every to-do item.
Finally,We need to review and supplement or adjust all the information on a 7-day cycle to ensure that the backlog is completed efficiently.
.Accumulate a lot, don't expect it to be in place at one time.
Nowadays, society is fast-paced, and there are too many people who are in a hurry to achieve success, and they always want to do it in one step.
It's like I'm recruiting students these days, and people always ask me:
Can it be realized in 30 days? ”
Is there a guarantee of publication after studying? ”
Is it really possible to make money from writing? ”
My answer is: No guarantees!!
Those who have results are all action-oriented, and they will be fully prepared to do it, and they will solve the problem step by step, rather than asking others for assurance.
In the process of learning to write, we accumulate a lot, publishing an article is the accumulation of an article, and when we encounter results on the way to do things, it is a matter of time before we make money.
The rice has to be eaten in one bite, the money has to be earned little by little, and it is always necessary to get it all at once, which can only be a pipe dream.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and small steps lead to big changes, as is the case in any industry.
03.Throw away the fear
In the face of any unknown event, we may be "afraid".
Fear of not doing well, fear of being left out, fear of losing, fear of achieving nothing...
But the secret to mastering any relationship is really just four words: don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid of a new beginning, it is the only way for us to be reborn;
Don't be afraid to keep up with the rhythm, as long as you are moving forward, you will definitely find the right path;
Don't be afraid of losing, there are many gains and losses, loss is likely to indicate a new arrival;
Don't be afraid of achieving nothing, because because we have nothing, it is easier for us to fill in more new knowledge and new ideas with an empty cup mentality...
At any time, don't waste with yourself, go out, and your future will have more possibilities.
04.Everything is calm
After the age of 40, it is actually a better time for us women to turn over.
Because at this time, our mentality is more calm, and we have experienced big and small things, and we have seen some rules clearly.
Therefore, I have to say from the bottom of my heart and lungs: everything is calm.
Whether it's a trough, waiting, or in a tug-of-war, we must guard our hole cards and accumulate strength silently.
Hold your breath and do what you have to do, and the results you expect will come as expected.
05.Find the kind of person you want to be
After the age of 40, if we want to reinvent ourselves, we need to be clear about what kind of person you want to be.
If you don't have one around you, then boldly step out of your circle and go to people who can be your role model and learn from them Xi results.
Only in this way can you get closer to your ideal self.
My dear, no matter how old you are, we can all have the ability to reinvent ourselves if you want to.
Then bring a smile and a firm heart, and let's go together from now on!
