I define transformation as a series of changes that result in a lasting growth
or expansion. Opportunities to transform our lives are ever present. In the Minke household, we are in the midst of transforming our lives by switching our bedroom with the media room.
Sure, there are numerous tedious changes that must take place; moving furniture, finding outlets for the electronics, adding new shelves. The process will take several days and chaos increases for that period of time.
Change is made easier by seeing the new as an opportunity. Rather than focus on the temporary disorder, we are quickly rewarded by considering the reasons for the change. For our bedroom, we value the morning sunlight that streams in, and more direct airflow from the air conditioner. For the media room, there is better continuity between the playroom and TV watching which keeps the toys in a more manageable quadrant and encourages togetherness even if the children are doing different things. I consider this transformation because the new arrangement improves overall quality of life and gives more opportunity for family time.
This spring look for the many opportunities for transformation in your life, whether in personal arrangements, body health, or spiritual renewal. The process can be stressful if we study it frame by frame and analyze the chaos, but is much more enjoyable if we train our focus on the new opportunities that become available.
