The Transformation Process

This week I took the major step of starting my BlogTalkRadio.com show up again. Why was this such a huge step for me? Because it is something that requires me to "put myself out there", to expose myself and my inner feelings to the world.

In the hayday of my business (pre-widow days), I found it very easy to step up and talk about who I was, what I was thinking and the inspiring things in my life. Let's face it, when you are highly successful, you are on top of the world and in a place where people want to hear what you have to say.

But life does not always allow us to continue on the same path. We have interruptions, distractions and sometimes, we take great falls. Which is exactly what happened to me. I not only fell, I crashed and burned.

But once I made the decision to step up to the plate again and declare who I am to the world, I began to climb out of the hole I was in. Once I decided to recreate myself and take my life back, things began to happen and they continue I continue moving forward every day. But it was not by accident, it was by DESIGN. I have been designing my life for the past year. I have been creating a future for myself that involves the person I truly am.

First, I planned what I wanted my lifet to look like and then I planned how to get there. Now I wish I could say the process is easy, but it is not. It has been one of the hardest things I have ever done (if not THE hardest thing) and will continue to be. It requires me to look deep into myself, to identify the good and the bad. It requires that I deal with a lot of my internal pain and yes, especially my own numerous short-comings. It is a process of self discovery and self cleaning.

This is an ongoing process, but one necessary for anyone who wants to move from where they are to a better place. It requires, decision, determination and commitment. It requires a lot of work.

But the work is very rewarding. When I look in a mirror today, I don't see what I want to see yet, but I see the process I have been through. I see how the work has paid off for me and the affect the work will have on my entire life and the people around me.

Transformation is a journey... A very long, difficult but fulfilling journey. It is one available to anyone at any level of life. Anything worth wanting, can be had as long as we make the decision and have a clear vision of what we are working toward.

The process continues...

To your unstoppable success...

What is Transformation?

Life is a never ending process. It is a journey which takes us in different directions. Sometimes we just go with the flow and accept life as it comes, just making the best and getting by.
Sometimes we take life by the horns and manipulate it to be what it should be. We manipulate the best case from that which is dealt to us.
This is the point where transformation begins. It is a point where we intentionally change the way we think, the way we see things around us and the way we respond to those things. It is a time when we start to create for ourselves the very best we can experience.
Transformation takes a hard decision. It is hard because it is normally not what you want to look deeply into. For example, my weight. It was easier to say that I had fat genes, had experienced too many injuries to exercise and my health was not good enough to diet. That would have been the easy road and was the road I took for a very long time.
But after my husband died from cancer, I realized I could only live my life if I "Recreated" it. The person I had become was NOT the person who lived inside of me. The person I was on the outside was tired but the person inside wanted to live life and be an example of what was possible. I had to become the person I was intended to be. I had to RECREATE my life. This is where my transformation began.
