Deliberate transformation

Transformation is a perspective shift. A mind expanded doesn't shrink back. Deliberate transformation means you  don't wait that life pushes you to change, but you deliberately start awakening yourself. 
Here is the thing, we are constantly growing and expanding  in all ways, shapes and forms because Universe itself is constantly expanding and we are this Universe. 

This means, in order for us to keep up with the constant change, we either have to willingly choose to adapt and transform ourselves in a better version or life will do us this favour. The second one will happen whether you want it or not. Life is so kind to you that it will start asking you slowly and in a gentle way to change and get rid of stuff that don't serve you. If you ignore this call, situations will become so uncomfortable that you will have no other choice. That is why in some cases people lose their jobs, health or house. Usually the last call is having something to do with your health, because this is often the only way for life to get your attention. 

The truth is, we can never avoid the pain, because through pain we grow. As Rumi said,  the wound is when the light enters you. However, we can definitely reduce the amount of unnecessary suffering by paying close attention to what signal is life sending us, doing regular self reflection and making decisions that are aligned with your true self.
