Is it only when you feel bored looking at the day ahead of you? When you have hit rock bottom and the only way is forward? When the "old/current" is out of touch?

Would love to hear your thoughts as I believe reinventing one self over and over can only be good. I am not always reading the signs well or I am missing them completely! Thanks lots.

I would say, as most of the times: "it depends". In terms of career, I like to think I reinvent myself constantly until I gather enough experience or capital and, arguably more important, convince myself that I can be that new me. This step is usually the visible one for the people around me, but in my mind I have already moved on by then. I doubt that just feeling bored would push me to this unless it would happen over a very long period of time.

thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree that reinvention is primarily for one-self and seeing "it" happen or feeling that it was achieved, starts with the personal acknowledgment: I am a new ME.
