Throughout Western culture in literature, song, movies and other artifacts there is a common meaning to be found: Each person has the capability of creating their own reality. Tapping into this ancient wisdom can save your life and reinvent who you are.<\/p>\n
A very recent echoing of this wisdom came from Jeff Immelt<\/a>, Chairman and CEO at GE. Read his simple, yet profound message<\/a> to a graduating class of college students to see what I mean.<\/p>\n Immelt’s core message is powerful and merits requoting here: “We can\u2019t wait for the economy to stabilize. We can\u2019t wait for a time when there is more certainty. It used to be that you only had to manage momentum. Today, you have to create your own future.”<\/b><\/p>\n I’m not sure how I came to be someone who embraces that kind of viewpoint about life. I just do embrace it. Wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n I have been reinventing who I am for many years. Long before I ever heard of the word reinvention<\/i>, I was doing it in my own life.<\/p>\n That is partly why I write commentaries here on this website. My goal is to share with you what I have discovered to be true. I hope your life can benefit from the lessons I have learned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Throughout Western culture in literature, song, movies and other artifacts there is a common meaning to be found:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,16,17,22],"tags":[160,196],"class_list":["post-598140682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-coaching","category-personal","category-personal-brand","category-stand-out","tag-personal-brand","tag-stand-out"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/woodygoulart.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598140682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/woodygoulart.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/woodygoulart.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodygoulart.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodygoulart.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=598140682"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/woodygoulart.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598140682\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":598147305,"href":"https:\/\/woodygoulart.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598140682\/revisions\/598147305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/woodygoulart.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598140682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodygoulart.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598140682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/woodygoulart.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598140682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
