Living outside the container
Let’s take a closer look at transformation and how it can bring meaningful change into your life.
Transformation:
- IN A PERSON is generally defined as a complete or major change in someone’s form, nature or appearance. In the field of personal growth and development, that change begins on the inside and it is always constructive or beneficial. Even though sometimes it may not initially seem that way. In its most committed form, transformative change is intentional and involves a “makeover” of who you are, how you live and what you do in this world.
- STARTS the moment you feel dissatisfied with some aspect of your life and you say “Yes” to making a change. It is when the frustration of your current circumstances outweighs the fear of growth and change.
- LEADS you through a process of re-evaluating yourself and your life. With transformation you start to think and feel differently about things. You develop a new awareness about yourself and you gain a deeper understanding about life and who you are. You make different choices in your life and you see different results.
- INVOLVES looking at what is working and what is not working in your life. It includes looking at your beliefs, values, patterns, actions and reactions, and being self-honest about what is no longer beneficial for you or for those around you.
- HAPPENS when we stop blaming others for our experience and we look within to improve and change our lives.
- DEEPENS when you let go of wounds that have long defined you and you disconnect from illusions you once held as truths – false truths about yourself, your life and the world. The process of transformation guides you to begin an honest exploration of life; connecting to the innermost part of who you are and the very life-force that empowers and supports existence.
- IS ABOUT defining and setting clear intentions for yourself and the world and then living them.
- WILL look and feel different for everyone, but there are common core tools, processes and understandings that you can employ to help pave a clear and productive path of transformation for yourself.
- BEGINS in your personal world and then extends into the greater world.
- NEVER STOPS. We are always transforming and by taking ownership of this work you can proactively oversee, and in part direct, your own personal transformation.
