I accidentally stumbled across a paper on my computer about transformation that my son wrote when he was a senior in high school. I decided to share with you the first paragraph because it explains, very nicely, that transformation is in fact, inevitable.

Transformation
Transformation happens almost everywhere. It happens in nature when flowers grow up from the smallest seeds. Transformation is visible when scientific theories develop from a few individual facts into a more cohesive understanding of a subject. Children transform slowly into adults. Transformation is a theme running rampant on earth. In his novel A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens exploits the theme of transformation. Transformation as an idea makes no moral judgments; it only describes one thing undergoing a change into another. Dickens recognizes this concept and the transformations of his characters show this concept. Not every transformation is good or bad. Some transformations are good, some bad and some may even be neutral but in each transformation some element of human nature is displayed.
My question is, are you pleased with the transformation happening in your life? As people look on, what “element of human nature is displayed”?
While many transformations always follow the same pattern, the direction of your transformation is a decision of your heart whether or not it is consciously made. If you want that direction to be different, you have the ability to change courses at any point.
My hope for you is that if you are not pleased with where you are headed, physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually that you will do whatever it takes to get on a new path.
