Existential Reflection (5)

Recreate Your Identity

Some people believe that you are a nobody. In some quarters, you are regarded as a failure. Even among your peers, associates, and colleagues, no one seems to see any positive side of you. It appears you are the worst of all creatures. Sometimes, you have been tempted to think that there is no hope for your today not to talk of a bright future. It seems Nature has designed your identity in a negative way. You constantly blame your past for today’s seeming misfortune.

My dear, the good news is that you can recreate your identity. You can remake your today for a better tomorrow. That you were born poor does not imply that you will die poor. You can recreate your identity.

Recreating your identity is possible when you begin to think positively and also act positively. Re-making your today is a possibility if only you can begin today to choose those things that can add value to your life. Yes, you are your choice! This existential truth is yet to be contradicted by any human experience. Choose to be a winner by doing those things that will lead you to the winning side. You can recreate yourself today for a better tomorrow!

Don’t remain in the negative way you are today. Choose to be better by making effort to recreate your identity today for a better tomorrow.
