Would agree but, not by the power your illustration depicts. The illustration depicts a natural or predestined change or evolution. However, I believe your thread addresses a different power or progression. The power you address is one in which people can change their perspectives about themselves and their relations to other people and other things. That power is not preordained nor certain. That power requires self exploration and a devotion to finding what truths there may be but are unknown. And, that is a pretty big subject.

Yes, not about biological metamorphosis but personal growth and self-actualization.

I have already proven I can change who I am on the outside, but still be the same moron on the inside. Haha.

I wish I could change even one darn thing about myself.

Why? You’re beautiful just the way you are

What @officerripley said made me sad. You are wonderful the way you are. (as others said also) Cause I feel that way too sometimes.

I deleted the long post. Just want to say, considering what I went through in my youth, I still have a sense of humor.

Thank you, you're so nice! I wish I could get my inner workings to behave so I could have a social life again but they've never worked right and no doctor can figure out what's wrong so it's hopeless. There's really nobody to socialize with here anyway.

I used to be into "personal growth" and change and all that. It was ok at the time. At this point in time I'm tired of changing to please everyone else when they never do it for me. So, with that I'll say good night.

Self actualisation is at the peak of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

I searched for enlightenment during the 1970s for the selfish advancement of me; however, I learn enlightenment comes to recipients who practice kindness and servitude. Wisdom comes to those who earn it.

Not necessary Ripley, we think you're pretty cool as you are.
