Do you think that as human beings, we also go through metamorphosis? I think we do, in one way or another... Definition-wise, when human beings undergo metamorphosis, we'll be categorized under the second definition, which a marked change in appearance, character, condition, or function... Maybe some of you, my dear readers, often undergo metamorphosis, like a chameleon... But for many, it is tough to change something which has been in them, with them, like FOREVER~
I know it is hard for me to change an attitude that had been with me forever, but I know I gotta try this time... To wake up and emerge from the cocoon as a butterfly in springtime. I was a caterpillar, ugly and full of furry, itching hairs to protect myself. Now, I'm inside the cocoon, a season for change... I can't stay in a cocoon forever, and I can't revert back to the caterpillar stage. I'm IN it for the transformation...
And I hope you out there also are IN for a season of metamorphosis.
A bible verse that I'd like to share with you about metamorphosis is from the letter of St. Paul to the Romans:
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God -- what is good and acceptable and perfect."
~ Romans 12:2 ~

God bless and have a wonderful day at work (for many of you, including me!) or in school!
