The Art of Personal Metamorphosis💎 

I would like to welcome you to a special edition of the Masterpiece Inspirations Newsletter. Today’s topic is a very interesting one and I want you to get a cup of tea and relax, whilst I take on an amazing intellectual, authentic, engaging and inspiring conversation. So, let’s get started. 

✍️ Metamorphosis is a biological process by which an organism physically develops, and undergoes various stages of transformation; involving the conspicuous changes in body structure until the organism is fully matured. 

✍️ This brings me to my main point; a Caterpillar cannot become a Beautiful Butterfly without undergoing the process of Metamorphosis. 

Likewise, if your life is controlled by other people’s opinions, labels and validation, it will rob you of the opportunity to look outside your comfort zone (Frame) and leverage your highest potential so that you can evolve (Metamorphose) into the Best Version of yourself. 

Hence, the Art of Personal Metamorphosis is the ability to evolve into the Best Version of yourself by leveraging your unlimited potentials for personal transformation. 

Therefore, do not allow any limiting beliefs to become your self-identity; because you have the ability to learn from feedbacks (failures or mistakes) and leverage your Unlimited Potentials to metamorphose into the Best Version of yourself. 

Furthermore, your failures or mistakes are events in your life and they do not define your competence, capability, capacity and Identity. Hence, they cannot limit your potentials without your permission. 

This is because your self-image will inevitably create your self-identity, influence your self-esteem, and become your self-fulfilling prophecy. 

Moreover, what matters most in life, is that you discover your Uniqueness (know thyself) through the process of transformation (Personal Metamorphosis). And also ensure that you have a clear vision of where you’re headed to, despite the challenges and obstacles you will face in your life. 

“All of us have the seed of greatness, unlimited potentials and success within us but what we eventually become is only a matter of personal choice” Clems 

✍️ This brings me to my next point; when you accept any negative label or identity which are based on other people’s opinions and validations, you limit the optimisation of your unlimited potentials.  

Therefore, always leverage every opportunity to get out of the limited frame of mind controlled by external factors and give expression to your innate potentials, so that you can identify the opportunities to develop your talents and fulfill your life’s purpose. 

This reminded me of my observation few weeks ago at the airport, whilst waiting for my flight.  

I noticed that a coffee shop is also selling flowers, and it seems that more people are coming to the shop to buy flowers than the coffee. The morale of this story is that the owner of the coffee shop, identified opportunity outside of his niche and leveraged it to create value and attract more customers to the shop (maximisation of potentials)   

Likewise, when you are seduced by your comfort zone (Frame) you can hardly see the big picture and the opportunities outside your Frame.  

✍️ From the foregoing, it very important that you should always leverage your God given talents and unlimited potentials to design a rewarding and purpose-driven life.  

This would enable you to cushion the effects of any form of disruption including emerging technologies that can disrupt your industry and comfort zone. Recent examples of such disruptions include the Covid and its disruptive impact globally on business models and personal lives.  

Furthermore, if your entire life and identity are centered on your position at a job or on climbing the cooperate and business ladders. Could you imagine how you would react when there is a sudden disruption to your perceived job security? 

In such circumstances, most people would become hopeless and miserable, because their entire life and identity were defined by their job descriptions. 

However, whether you’re the CEO or the Cleaner in an organisation, your self-identity is not your job title or qualifications, because no position (executive or non-executive) will last forever. 

✍️ At this point I would like to ask you; ‘’If you lose those cherished titles, awards, brand identity, celebrated business or career achievements, would you also lose your self-identity and self-worth?’’  

It is important to note that your JOB is what you were paid to do based on your skillset and experience, but your WORK is what you were born to do by leveraging your talents and unlimited potentials. And your work is where your potentials find maximum expression. 

✍️ This brings me to my next point; self-awareness and self-acceptance are the two major keys to self-discovery and transformation (Personal Metamorphosis). In the words of the renown Philosopher Socrates, ‘To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom” 

At this point I would like to ask you, ‘’what limiting beliefs have you accepted as your reality?’’ 

Whatever negative label or identity you have accepted as your reality would eventually become your self-fulfilling prophecy. 

✍️ In the Masterpiece Inspirational book, ‘’Daily Positive Affirmations: The Self-Talk Therapy for Overcoming Challenges & Fear’’ I provided more insights on how to unlock your Unique Identity and optimise your unlimited potentials by leveraging the keys of transformation (Personal Metamorphosis).

This brings me to my next point; during the slave trade, most slave owners changed the names of their slaves and even put indelible marks on them to signify that they are the commodities of the slave masters. Obviously, by labelling them in this barbaric manner, the slaves were stripped of their original identity, self-esteem, and self-worth.  

Moreover, the cumulative effects of the Transatlantic Slave Trade; including the loss of self-identity and self-esteem, Inferiority complex and poverty are still prevalent in our societies today, even after the abolition of slavery. In the words of late Pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey, “We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery because whilst others might free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind.” 

✍️ This brings me to my final point; to ensure that you are not constrained within a confined Frame of mind, controlled by mental slavery and all forms of self-sabotage. You have to re-define yourself in accordance with your Uniqueness, rather than on the basis of other people’s opinions and validation, or as result of self-limiting beliefs and Identity crisis.

This is because your self-image will inevitably create your self-identity, influence your self-esteem, and become your self-fulfilling destiny.  

My favorite book says, ‘’Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.’’  

This is because transformation (Personal Metamorphosis) is achieved by the reprogramming of the mind, through the process of Learning (empowering knowledge), Unlearning (self-limiting beliefs) and Re-learning.  

In the words of Alvin Toffler, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.” 

Therefore, give yourself the permission to evolve (metamorphose) into the Best Version of yourself by leveraging your Highest Potentials to unlock and discover your Unique Identity.  

Let me remind you again; ‘’You’re a Unique Masterpiece created for a PURPOSE, equipped with LIMITLESS POTENTIALS (seeds of greatness) and Designed for a DESTINY (purpose-driven and impactful life). 

✍️ In conclusion, I want you to remember that nobody can denigrate or devalue you without your permission because you become the reflection (good or bad) of whatever label you have accepted as your self-identity and self-worth, due to the subconscious programming of your mind.

As the book of Proverbs says ‘’For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.’’
