We change. This is one thing that we cannot get away from.

Change is gradual; a timely process.

Life occurs in stages and each progression requires a transition.

It  seems to happen overnight.

Our lives  resembles that of the transition of a caterpillar to a butterfly.

Just as a caterpillar must successfully go through a stage of metamorphosis to become a beautiful butterfly, so must we navigate life, gracefully moving from one state of flux to another.

However, some wait for life to transform them. They refuse to change on their own, and fight violently against anything that will remove them from their current state. They have found comfort in their stasis. They are buffeted on every side by the torrential waves. There they stay on the shore waiting and watching as the waves  rush to crash against their shores. There they wait until there is no other option than to muster up  the courage to do what is necessary to survive.  But a life lived as such is never fulfilling. Such is a life full of fear. For some facing a known fear takes a little less courage than facing an unknown one. They have made peace with their misery, pain, and suffering. It is a lot easier to embrace the pain that comes along with standing still.

 It is difficult Facing the unknown. 

It is hard to step in to the great abyss, not knowing where your feet will land when you step out into the void.

Those who desire a life of peace and fulfillment must learn to step out and catalyze that transformation. They must lead the charge in the growth process.

This is done through the renewing of one’s mind.

Change comes through the consistent renewal of the mind.

This is a daily process.

Everyday make the choice to learn. Everyday make the choice to grow.

Growing to new states occurs through elevation of the mind from  current state  to a more evolved state. This can only be done by placing oneself in an informed state.  An increase in knowledge  brings about greater insight.  Use of knowledge and insight brings about inexplicable power and wisdom. As one gains wisdom one matures.

Maturity is a sign of growth; transformation. It is marked by a change in habits, behaviors,  and actions.

The more you know the more you grow.

Seek that which will grow you in the right direction.

We shape our transformation (direction of change) .
