I took a 12 week class that culminated in a life changing retreat.  Coming off of the mountain where the retreat was held, I knew that my life had been forever changed.  When talking  with others who had taken the course and gone to the retreat, we realized we had undergone a transformation that was 12 weeks in the making.

Here are a couple of points I’ve taken away about REAL transformation


Real Transformation is from the inside out

“Get your mind right”  That’s what one of my mentors Todd Durkin always says.  Getting your mind right is the key to life transformation.  Going through life with the same old toxic thoughts will lead to the same old toxic behavior that leaves you with the same old toxic life.


Real Transformation goes DEEP

Similar to the first point, real transformation gets way beneath the surface.  It’s not just about meal plans, exercise programs, platitudes, positive thoughts, etc.  Real Transformation goes into those deep wounds you thought you buried.

You’re supposed to be uncomfortable when undergoing transformation.  I remember getting so uncomfortable the first few classes I went to, I thought about not going back.  I’m glad I did though!


Real Transformation isn’t performative

OK I have to say this:  When you’ve undergone transformation you don’t need to say anything.  You don’t need to endlessly post on social media or go through elaborate performances. 

You don’t need anyone’s validation because you know you’ve changed.  It ain’t for the public.  

One of the best parts about witnessing the transformations of people in my class was their abandonment of caring what people thought.  They were FREE to be themselves.  I loved watching people come alive!!


Real Transformation produces real RESULTS

A lot of people have a lot of talking but they ain’t got a lot of results!

I see it all the time.  People have lots of quotes, feel-good mantras, and motivational memes but they’re basically in the same place with no real change.

An actual transformation should produce an actual change and give you actual results.

I’m looking forward to sharing my own Results in the coming days, weeks, and months…Even though I resisted some stuff during the class and wanted to quit, I am positive that this was the right move and will pay off tremendously!
