"Greetings of Peace & Blessings!!!"

The process of TRANSFORMATION has been very impactful in my life on many levels. The moment I realized that my actions had to change in order to reap better results, I began to focus my thinking on principles; Virtue. Almost immediately, I recognized a shift in my mood and general attitude. Now I know that the process of TRANSFORMATION won't happen if you don't change YOUR thoughts. Your thoughts shape who you are in character. Thinking essentially builds "As a man thinketh, so is he."

The "WHO," "WHAT," and "WHERE'S" started clearly defining in my life. I started asking important questions; began asking the relevant questions. Only then did I get correct answers. I understand now that transformation is a concept that expresses change. Circumstances change, environments change, ideas change — your beliefs will change.

My heart posture changed, I transformed my condition, changed my mind. Acknowledge that there is a need for you to upgrade. I understand now, unlike in the past, being specific and key in opening the correct doors—intentional in my endeavors—that will lead to my success. Success should be a prime reason for your transformation.

This important question: In closing, all I ask is the correct definition of success? I know people have different definitions because we all have different upbringings. However, I'll say, in relation to the incarcerated person, it's Unconditional Freedom. And you can go a little deeper and say a healthy soul.

Unconditional freedom is a place we will always strive to reach. This freedom is not physical. Being free usually implies permanent removal from whatever binds, entangles, or oppresses. So being transformed for the betterment of life will lead you to a place that has no confinement, no restraints on my ability to choose and make independent decisions, no censorship. Know now that being successful, transformed, and liberated will cause you to make the correct choice that will create the environment for a soul to be at peace and prosper.

This is where my understanding is now concerning TRANSFORMATION.
