108: Reinvent Your Life

REINVENT YOURSELF

What does it mean to reinvent your life? Is it important, and can everyone do it?

I believe that self reinvention is not only important; it is the key to being fully alive. I think we really only have two choices. We reinvent ourselves, or we slowly die.

Bob Dylan said it best in one of his songs: “He not busy being born is busy dying.”

You’ll discover that the theme of today’s podcast is how to reinvent your life. When you listen closely to Jonathan Greene’s story, you’ll hear things that can set you free.

My comment suggests that you are not free. Well, I believe everyone desires greater freedom in life, consciously or unconsciously.

Here are some of the powerful gems to enrich your life that you will find in today’s podcast:

  • The hidden truth about careers people choose
  • How you can excel at something and still not love it
  • How you can be compelling, confident ,and introverted at the same time
  • The war between MUST and WANT
  • Why your happiness often depends on doing what you WANT
  • The relationship between life and acting
  • The meaning and value of the Social Media Hierarchy

As you listen to Jonathan Greene today, you may also begin to learn how unlock the creativity that lives in all of us. You’ll gain encouragement to pursue and embrace your creative self.

You may feel a deeper appreciation for the adventure of changing your story and changing your life.

Humans are storytelling machines. You and I are constantly creating, destroying, elevating, and diminishing ourselves with our inner narratives that appear and disappear in our minds 24/7. Most people are not aware of this process. As a result, they believe that life is happening to them. This feels random, chaotic, and scary. Why do people tolerate it? Because they tell themselves, "That's the way it is. That is reality." Those seven words could not be farther from the truth.

This podcast will explore the storytelling process that is responsible for every facet of your life. It will discuss and encourage ways to take control of your personal narrative so that you can begin directing your destiny with an empowering story.

About your host

Profile picture for Louis Di Bianco

Louis Di Bianco

Louis Di Bianco is a storyteller. He fell in love with storytelling as a child. In his teens, his ability to tell entertaining stories saved his life on the streets of the Bronx, where he grew up. He discovered quickly how to make the neighborhood tough guys like, trust, and respect him by engaging them with stories.

Louis became a professional stage and screen actor to get paid for his love of storytelling. He has appeared in numerous feature films, TV movies, and television series, as well as performing on stage internationally.

He has taught acting for both stage and camera for as long as he has been an actor. We're talking more than four decades. Eventually, he created courses in compelling communication for business people who want to present their ideas, products, and services to the world with clarity, confidence, and persuasive power.

Louis takes the words, Change Your Story, Change Your Life, very seriously. His life experience has taught him that every word we utter, every belief we embrace, is a made up story. Even your past is a made up story that seems so vivid that you swear it's real. Accept that, and you remove all the barriers between you and your dreams. You will be able to enjoy the adventure of changing your story to change your life.
