You woke up this morning to that nagging notion that you are antiquated and irrelevant. You don't relate to very much and no one seems the least bit interested in connecting with you. Your sizzle has sagged and your current thoughts are the only things you managed to inherit from your parents. Gone are the days of youth and spirited free thinking. You are out of harmony with your life, your social circles, your professional colleagues and pretty much the flow of the entire universe.
You dread turning on the television knowing that you'll be bombarded by a media blitz of how the young, beautiful and talentless are changing the world, building empires from meaningless content and doing it all at the speed of light.

After all, you did not move to the big city to become trapped in this shell that you lug around daily. You, like those talentless world changers, made the move on the same mission but you made your move with actual talent. You owe it to yourself, your real self, to fulfill that mission. This moment of inspiration, my friend, is the first step on the road to reinvention!
