How To Live -27 conflicting answers and one weird conclusion - Derek Sivers - Reinvent Yourself Regularly- 4 Insights

1. What you call your personality is just a past tendency.

0

Your personality is being made up by you and it changes by the moment. One day you're a college student and next year you're the CEO of a startup. Is that really what you are?

2. There is no line between moments in time.

0

Your identity. Your meanings. Your trama. They're all made up.

You're creating the plot and the story. If not you, then who?

3. You're an ongoing event - a daily improvisation - responding to the situation of the moment.

0

You are defining this moment. Whatever you choose to call it - that's it. It will never be different for you until you're willing to redefine it.

Never believe in or retell a disempowering story. Who does your sad story serve anyway?

4. Your past self needs to step down, like a previous president, to let the new you run the show.

0

Your past is already gone its just waiting for you to catch up.

Cut all common threads to the past.

Keep nothing permanent.

Remain a blank canvas.
