At one point and time in life, we go through a major transformation hopefully mostly for the better. It can be a conscious choice, it can be from a crisis, or a totally unexpected change.

A major change in life can bring an important message worth paying attention to. Some can say their life will never be the same.

What brings about these transformations? Relationships, career changes, family matters from happy times to sad times, illness, grief, material difficulties, an accident, unfulfilled dreams, bottled up frustrations that finally decide to pop the lid. A winfall can do it in a big way. A traumatic experience can trigger an extreme transformation.

It is said that dramatic changes in life happen for a reason. At the moment of confusion, this is hard to comprehend. Some would cry “why me?”

“ It's unfair. “ Guilt , anger and fear obscure the vehicle for transformation.

Most people will strive to rise from the fall and move on. Some recognize the opportunity for spiritual growth. This can be a major transformation. It actually can bring about a major lifestyle change. Some would embrace this opportunity.

Some see the chance to pursue their dreams and why not? At this point, what else have they got to lose? They are the troopers who find opportunity when problems come their way. To them, it is a stepping stone to greener pastures. Armed with the experience and knowledge they’ve gained, they explore and expand their horizons. They are able to re-invent themselves. They accept the challenge and walk a new path through transformation

After facing and surviving a life-changing crisis, one must move on. There are some who may not find the way. This is most unfortunate. It seems like they dig deeper into the mire. Tragic, but it happens.

This is a critical time, a time to seek counsel. A time to reach out to someone. Consider seeking assistance from community services if there is no family to turn to.

But please don’t think that the world is cruel. Amazing and true, in very trying times, hearts open, hands reach out from total strangers. Don’t feel that you’re all alone. You’re not.

It is important to step back and think your way out of a dilemma. It is not the time to make hasty decisions. Consider the options carefully. Treasure the nuggets of insights, the lessons learned when life presents us with major transformations. And on to the next chapter of life.

The sun always shines brighter after a storm.
