Reinvention Does Not Ask Permission

I’ve met people who talk about reinvention as if it’s a polite guest — something that arrives at the perfect time, waits patiently to be welcomed in, and only settles down when everything feels ready.

But the need for reinvention usually isn’t that gentle.

It doesn’t check your calendar. It doesn’t wait for the “right moment.” More often than not, it arrives unexpectedly, interrupts your plans, and asks you to grow before you feel prepared.
