the 4 Pillars of Reinvention

Pillar 3: support

"No man is an island."

Now it’s time to start bringing your ideas to life and Pillar #3 will make that happen. Research has shown that human beings do less well when isolated from others, then when in community where the chances of thriving and succeeding become more and more attainable. Community and connection are very powerful, whether one on one or in a group. One of their major tenets of a supportive community is I can’t, we can. In this community transformation happens and lives change. When we are creating something new which you are, simply speaking it out loud to another person of support might very well give you the permission and confidence you need to proceed and at the same time calming the negative dialogue that might be chattering in your head [see Pillar #2 Beliefs]. Support, partnership, community can be the game changer you’re looking for. It is with these thoughts that pillar #3 says find your support. Personally, I would not be the man I am today in all areas of my life without as it is said “standing on the shoulders of giants”. You might find a person or a class or a group that will support you. There might be a seemingly unrelated group or community that supports your reinvention as well. That might be joining a gym or yoga class or meditation group or whatever speaks to you. These activities and groups will empower you, power that will serve you well in your new journey. 

Tell your reinvention to at least two trusted people-they can be friends, family, a teacher, clergy member are just some examples. 

Find your support-a class, a group, a coach, a therapist to give you the support that you deserve
