“Growth and Self-Transformation Cannot be Delegated.”
– Lewis Mumford
Every work in the world can be delegated and done on your behalf. But, when it comes to self-growth and self transformation, it cannot be done by someone else. That’s the only thing that only you can do, and you have to do. For example, you want to develop your personality. To do so, you can surely take help from people, youtube channels, etc., but ultimately, you only have to plan, work and take necessary baby steps.
Self-Growth Vs Self-Transformation
Both the words, i.e. self-growth and self-transformation, may sound similar, but they differ. Self-growth is commonly referred to as personal growth or personal development. Self-growth is when you see what the problem ‘is’ at present and find solutions to improve it. On the other hand, self-transformation is when you don’t look at the past but at the future. It is when you are aware of what is going on in your life and then accordingly thrive on introducing something new to your life in your near future. You become the creator of your own future when you transform yourself.
This article will help you understand the importance of self-transformation in your life.
Self-Transformation: A Brief
Self-transformation means how you bring about a change in the aspect of who you are, what you want to do and where you want to lead your life. It is where you don’t say. ‘This is who I am, and I won’t change’ instead, you say, ‘Who I am is not what I want to be’. It is a process when we consciously commit to transforming a particular aspect of ourselves until we reach a point where we can confidently say, ‘I am who I want to be,’ and ‘I am doing what I want to be doing’.
Here the question arises, is it easy?
The answer is yes; it is easy if you are really determined to bring about a change in your life. But why do determined people find it difficult to do so?
The reason is ‘inconsistency’. People are motivated to write their own stories but often give up when things don’t work and fail. They need a daily dose of motivation to work on themselves. It is challenging to stay motivated each day, but not impossible. Once they get into the flow of consistency, there’s no going back. Everyone can do it! Remember that.

Is Self-Transformation Essential?
Yes, self-transformation is as important as upgrading ourselves with new skills. It is one of the significant aspects that can enhance our career, relations with friends, family and most importantly, with ourselves. For personal transformation, self-awareness is vital. One has to conduct a SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threat) analysis of oneself. Once they know what can be improved, they can start preparing to climb the self-transformation ladder.
Now, the question arises, ‘When will we know we need to transform ourselves?’
There is no specific time for self-transformation. It can happen at any point in time. But, it follows a catalyst of some kind. For example, unhappiness, boredom or simply a need to take up a challenge may lead to reappraisal or intuition that says, ‘something needs to change’.
However, personal transformation can sometimes happen naturally due to a change in routine, for instance, moving from education to work, switching careers or stepping into a new role such as becoming a parent.
People usually commit to transforming themselves to achieve a specific goal or an outcome. It is a long and continuous process that requires consistency, perseverance and hard work. But, once a person has reached a stage of ultimate satisfaction and achieved a specific goal, they will look back and feel proud of themselves. Every hurdle, every hustle will be worthwhile.
