There are some days you wake up with this hatred that everyone or everything is going from bad to worse. Your patience is limited, and you have zero tolerance for any unfairness. So, in my case, after 15 years working in communications, I decided to make a 180-degree turn. Take risks in something that fulfills my entire vision of stepping up in life and enhances everything learned professionally with something creative, fun, and risky, but it also makes me happy.
Believe it or not, my first step was to do something radical, which was to change my hair color from brown to red. That was something really scary for me because I never thought it was a possibility. Funny eh? It is a correlation between what you have to do, what you dream, and how you limit yourself.
So, I have to prove to myself that I can do something risky by defying my routine with a strong conviction. In the matter of how humanlike it is to justify their decisions, which I didn’t overthink too much, I asked myself, Why didn’t I do it before? Considering that change means a big step for everyone as part of the “reinventing thing," It's obvious that fear has held me all this year. In my perspective, I understand now that part of my process is to learn, adapt, nurture my experience and knowledge, and wait for the opportunity.
However, these moves transformed me into someone “who stands up for their opinions and what is right and what is wrong despite what anyone else says" and “a person who opposes a person or group in authority: a person who does not obey rules or accept normal standards of behavior, wardrobe, and more.” Is that what made me a rebel? We can understand that being a rebel means:
You are not a $100 bill to everyone.
Don’t let anxiety or disappointments control your life.
Don’t be afraid to have your own criteria.
Fight for what you believe in.
Sometimes changes take time and a lot of hard work, especially in your subconscious. We are so drowned in our daily schedules that we end up burying ourselves in our dreams.
Now, like others, I endure a natural phenomenon that somehow changes our lives, and it is a compulsory reboot. I will confess that I learned something in all of this process. Don’t complain! However, we have to take action and finish what you left in the "Archives.”.
There is no time to wait. This is when the rebel breaks free! We can talk about how your age can bring you to an alteration in your tolerance, courage, or level of happiness, like something is crafting an unruly behavior. Don’t you think that sometimes our feelings and behavior are something beyond our minds and bodies?
You are a lifetime project. You need to start mapping, strategizing, and making something sustainable, productive, and efficient about your life. The greatest world cities did it. Seoul-South Korea, Melbourne-Australia, Liverpool-England, Pittsburg-Pennsylvania, Ontario-Canada, among others. From countries, cities, businesses, branding, and people. It's time to establish new rules, a new focus, and new compromises! It's time to evolve... Be a rebel. Dare yourself. Is it time to reinvent a new American dream!
