In a new blog post about how we continually renew ourselves, adapted from his book, The Earned Life, the renowned leadership coach and bestselling author Marshall Goldsmith explores the need to be open to constant reinvention.
Goldsmith writes, “As life goes on, many people let go of that expansive sense of possibility. They rein in their imaginations because they believe their paths are set, or they have accumulated obligations that force them to take certain actions. They lose the imaginative freedom of dreaming big.”
Several journalists have died in Ukraine, and many are innovating to report safely while spreading the truth.
Thousands of independent Russian and Ukrainian journalists are bravely searching for the truth to report on the Ukraine war, and now they have to find ways to support themselves as funding from traditional services has dried up. For example, Meduza, a Russian- and English-language independent news website based in Latvia, has had to reinvent its entire crowdfunding campaign overnight, focusing on people outside of Russia who probably don’t even understand how important this non-government news service is, reporting on issues concerning Russians who don’t support the current regime.
In The Earned Life Goldsmith uncovers the source of today’s existential crises, including regrets that stem from choices that irrevocably alter our lives, reroute destinies, and haunt our memories. These are particularly timely themes today.
With Goldsmith’s book as a guide, readers can close the gap between what they plan to achieve and what they actually get done—even in a world full of inescapable unfairness and curveballs—and live an earned life that is fulfilling in the long run.
