Transformation is the gateway to freedom; freedom from all that attempts to distract you from your path. This requires you to see yourself in a new light and embrace who you are now. You must accept that challenges are not going away, but rather, they are here to help you grow. It can not be easy to do this. However, transformation only happens when you allow yourself to change and grow into better versions of yourself through trial and error. There will always be obstacles along the way but they serve as lessons on how best to get where you want to go.
Transformation is freedom from all that has come before this moment. Transformation is a mixed blessing because it means letting go of something old, but it also means embracing something new. When you allow yourself to experience the fullness of transformation, you can feel your soul expand and grow. As you transform your old self into your new self, it’s important to release all that doesn’t serve you anymore so that you can be free to experience life in a new way. It is the freedom to be yourself and to know yourself as you are. It is the freedom to feel all the emotions that arise within you, without judgment or rejection.
Transformation is freedom from pain and sorrow, real or perceived. Through this process, you discover that you have choices in how you respond to situations, people, and circumstances in your life. You can choose not to react negatively when someone makes you angry or hurtful words are directed toward you by another person. You do not have control over what others say or do but you do have control over how you choose to react and respond to those situations. It is an opportunity for personal growth and development over time which creates a stronger sense of self-esteem because you know who you are as an individual versus being influenced
Transformation is freedom from thoughts of limitation or lack. Let go of your old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you and replace them with new ones that do. This can be painful as the ego must be given up. You must die to your current identity, even if that identity has served you well in the past. You must surrender to something greater than yourself, which is always available to you but which you have never allowed yourself to see. Allow yourself to transform to receive the power to create a better future for yourself than you could ever imagine on your own.
Imagine a butterfly fluttering nearby. The butterfly was once a caterpillar, having transformed itself into a beautiful winged creature! What does this have to do with your life? Breathe in and out. The breath is the primary way you connect with your mind, body, and emotions. Taking time to focus on the breath helps us stay present and aware. The butterfly is a symbol of transformation. It represents the ability to go from one state to another, the ability to change and adapt to situations. Decide on what changes you wish to make in your life such as improving relationships or changing jobs; write down your goals so they become clear in your mind.
Transformation is the seeking of light, seeking of love, love for you, as you are whole, complete, and perfect now at this moment. Take time to know yourself better on what you need to transform yourself. This leads you to a deep realization of who you are and what you are here to do. It takes you beyond the mind by healing your wounds and learning to live in harmony with yourself and with others. It can be hard to let go of your past, as this is already part of you. However, it will always be there and you don’t need to live with it. Keep moving forward in the present time and accept the new things you may encounter in life.
Transformation is a gift of shedding old ways of thinking and feeling and traveling along the path before you. Breaking down walls, breaking through barriers, and releasing self-destructive habits are all part of the transformation as well. Sometimes these old ways can seem impossible to break away from but they don’t have to be permanent. It may take some time but with determination, patience, and courage anything is possible. The world around you is constantly changing; as new things are created, old things must be discarded or replaced. Even, you may not know it, you are unconsciously changing physically. You need to be willing to take the steps needed to reach your destination to change your mental and spiritual state.
Transformation is being open to receive the gifts which await you in the Realm of Spirit. Transformation is a gift to be treasured. The Realm of Spirit is where you can find your true purpose, your highest potential, and your greatest joys. It is also where you can find your deepest pain, your greatest fears, and your most devastating losses. Transformation is not just about change for the better, but about becoming more than you ever imagined possible. It involves moving beyond what you know and embracing new ways of being and doing that spring from an expanded awareness of who you are.
How shall you celebrate your transformation on this day? Take time for yourself and do something you love. Celebrate by going outside, looking around, and embracing what you see. Feel the trees and plants, hear the birds singing, and enjoy the soft breeze on your face. Give yourself some time today to do something special that makes you feel good inside. You may be tempted to get back into your old routine, but don’t let this day slip by without taking some time for yourself. Each day is always to consciously change yourself into a better version of yourself. You have so much to be grateful for in this life. Give yourself some time today to do something special that makes you feel good inside.
