Why we are ALWAYS on a journey of transformation
Transformation starts with you recognising you have already transformed.
I get a sense of comfort in realising that we are always changing, growing, developing, evolving … transforming.
Even at those times when I might feel completely stuck in one aspect of life, I know that the experience is only temporary. Just as a new day always follows night, change is continuous.
Change is constantly happening at such vast scales it can sometimes be difficult to recognise that it is actually occurring. For example, the Earth circles the Sun every 365.25 days bringing with it a cycle of changing seasons; and our Universe continues to expand at around 220 light-years per second with endless stars being born and dying each second.
And change is also always occurring at the most minute of scales, too — each breath in and each breath out mark a continuous renewal of the cells in my body. Science has found that approximately 300 million cells in your body die every minute, so in the time it’s taken for you to read this sentence, 50,000 cells in your body have died and been replaced by new ones.
And yet, each breath in and out is more than this, too.
