What is transformation? My definition on transformation is not only growing into something quite marvelous, but also defining who you are as an individual. Many people are living in the past today, so therefore everything that they think about or do will always be in the past. This is a good example of transformation that the person may lack over time. So people don’t quite transform like how they should, that’s why their some much hatred in society today; due to the lack of transformation. Transformation also plays a big role in how an individual may feel and view the world from their point of view.
An individual who transform their self, can be down to earth; they don’t take everything strictly serious. Why don’t they that are where transformation comes in to play; because it helps you o accept different cultures and religion as if it was your own. Today society has transformed drastically from the saying sex before marriage, back in the days women weren’t’ allowed to has sex with men if they weren’t married. Not today it’s totally the opposite, that’s showing you how society has transform from such a stable environment. Trust me; we have to blame the behaviors on society because it’s the reason why people tend to do things and perceive whatever they want to believe and think.
Transformation also has an advantage on one’s self-concept and self-esteem, whether they want to believe it or not. If you can’t transform, then you can’t evolve into the person that you plan or desire to become. Not everyone can transform, it start with how high you develop a strong self-esteem and your whole concept on life. We have to know how to overcome obstacles, we must always try to believe in our beliefs and always have a positive attitude on the way we see life. Life is all about the way we transform, the plan for humans on earth was to see how well we can grow in understanding individuals not matter the circumstances.
Embracing and accepting is also a part of how we as humans transform, by having to deal with situations on an everyday basis. We have to accept that people will be people; there will be vengeance, distrust, justice and violence. These things are basically ways of life that help people transform into lawyers, doctors, teachers, judges, politicians, police officers, and so on. Something in their lives triggered the way they felt about a situation a why they became the person they are today. Most people don’t get it they think people just wake up feeling a certain way, but most of the time it a new way of them saying; I’m transforming.
To my knowledge transformation can be a part of growth or just a stage that we as humans have to face in life. Whether for the good or the bad we all must go thru a significant change in life. As an individual myself I go thru changes whether it amongst myself, family, peers, or society. I find myself concluding that without transformations, I wouldn’t be who I am today. We all must go thru something to make us say or think I’m going to transform myself into that person that I want to be or need to be.
