The Comeback.

One of the greatest things that you can do to propel yourself forward is to reinvent yourself.

It’s the ability to tear everything down.

It’s about questioning every protocol, every life-style habit, every relationship, every characteristic that made you “you” until that point in time.

It’s about going back to zero.

It’s about doing so with the heft of a lived life, and then to use that as a sling-shot towards realizing great things.

And this is hard. And this is against human nature. This is against our innate habit to accumulate stuff around us. This is about cutting things out. This is about being relentless. This is about rewriting your past. This is about re-imagining your future.

And the only way to do that is to start with a clean slate.

So that’s why you can’t do this while you’re “in it”.

You can’t do this while you roll with your current crowd, while you do the things that you always did, while you move and shake like you have always done.

To clean the slate, you will have to disappear.

You will have to go at it alone.

You will have to go to your core.

Because this is the only way that you can come back stronger than ever.

And people will start to wonder: where is he? Did he dig a hole that he can’t come out of? Did he loose himself? Did he loose his mind?

It doesn’t matter. Because what other people may think ultimately isn’t the stuff that you should be worried about.

Except for this: the moment when you return to the stage.

Because that’s when people start talking about the ways at which you “turned your life around”. And it’s then that people will start to wonder: how did he do it? And that’s when you will leave them guessing. You do this to maintain the enigma. You do this to build your power. You do this to up your game. And then whatever the new thing is that you do: this is the new you. You did come roaring back. You have obliterated the old you. And now you have become bigger and better than ever before. Now ain’t that something?
