Reinvention Navigation Map

Great. Let’s reframe Oliver Ding’s Object–Objective Fit Model into a more practical and intuitive version using a real-world example from a hypothetical personal reinvention journey. I’ll start with your reinvention journey, since it’s deeply meaningful and touches all layers of object–objective alignment.



Reframed Model: The Reinvention Navigation Map


Scenario: You are on a recovery journey after brain surgery. You want to evolve yourself and your life trajectory (object) toward a future with more meaning, vitality, and impact (objective).

1. Present: Your Initial Object

What it is: A woman entrepreneur and changemaker post-surgery, rich in lived experience, facing physical, cognitive, and emotional transitions.

Example: “I am recovering. I want to walk again, lead again, live again—on my terms.”

2. Evolved Object: Who You’re Becoming

What it is: Through reflection, PT/OT, and spiritual inquiry, your identity is shifting.

Example: You are becoming not just a survivor but a systems gardener who blends business, wisdom, and well-being.



---

3. Strategic Object & Objective (Middle Zone of Fit)

What it is: This is the sweet spot where your internal evolution (object) aligns with actionable future purpose (objective).

Reframed as: Your “Reinvention Compass” or RMW360 Vision.

Example: You create RMW360 to help others navigate reinvention and resilience with AI as a reflective co-pilot.

4. Future: Strategic or Emergent Objective

What it is: A desired new state of being or contribution. A future “you” that embodies the journey.

Examples:

Help 1,000 students, patients, or retirees build adaptive intelligence.

Walk on the beach unaided as a symbolic milestone.

Build an ecosystem of changemakers through DF360.

5. Opportunity Discovery & Anticipatory System

Opportunity Discovery: Happens as you sense-fit between your evolving object and possible futures (new objectives).

Anticipatory System: Your reflection, dialogue with mentors (e.g., Dr. Venkat, Steve), and adaptive experiments act as feedback loops that refine direction.

Simplified Visual (Metaphorical)


Imagine a sailing journey:

Present: You are in a harbor after a storm (surgery), with a sturdy boat (your self).

Evolving Object: You upgrade your boat, adjust sails, gather maps (learnings).

Strategic Fit Zone: You pick a bearing based on stars, tides, and intuition (RMW360).

Objective: You don’t just aim for a port—you aim to chart new waters for others too.

You are both the explorer and the mapmaker.

Walking Through Becoming: A Journey of Resilience and Transformation

Image
To be human is to move. For many, walking is an unthinking, habitual act. Yet, for those of us who have had to relearn this fundamental skill, walking transforms into an extraordinary process—a therapeutic journey, a triumph over adversity, and a reawakening of the mind, body, and spirit. Six months ago, I faced one of the most challenging periods of my life—a rehabilitation journey following brain surgery. Simple acts I once took for granted, like walking, became milestones to reclaim. Under the guidance of my physical therapist, I began a painstaking process of remastering the art of walking, starting with a walker and then transitioning to a cane. Each step demanded awareness, precision, and effort: right leg forward, move the hip, land and find balance, then advance the cane held in my left hand. Repeat with the left leg. All while keeping my head up and body upright. What many accomplish without thought required my full concentration, a constant recalibration of muscle...

Personal Reflection: Navigating Recovery Through a Singular Focus

Image
Naval Ravikant's quote, "A healthy man wants a thousand things, a sick man only wants one," resonates deeply with me as I reflect on my journey over the past year. Before my surgery and neurological setbacks, life was a complex web of ambitions, responsibilities, and distractions. I chased goals in business, family, social connections, and personal growth—constantly juggling a thousand things. But when faced with a Grade 2 meningioma, the ground beneath me shifted. Suddenly, the only thing that mattered was recovery—restoring the ability to move freely, to walk without stiffness, to feel the earth beneath my feet again. This journey has been both humbling and enlightening. It taught me that health is the silent enabler of all our dreams and ambitions. When it falters, our focus narrows to one primal need: to heal. To reclaim strength. To restore wholeness. In that singular focus, I've found resilience I never knew I had. Now, as I look forward to my follow...

My Thanksgiving 2024 Ode

Image
From Tokyo's lights to a hospital room, A journey begun in uncertain bloom. Through trials and pain, a path I’ve tread, From wheels to a cane, new hope has spread. To hands that lifted, hearts that stayed, Through nights of fear, through prayers conveyed. Family, friends, and healers kind, Your love and care, my strength refined. Today I stand, though steps are few, With gratitude vast, I honor you. This Thanksgiving, my heart takes flight, For each of you, my guiding light.
