Whether it's our physicalappearance or what we believe in - sometimes those parts of ourlives that no longer serve us need to go. We have to re-inventourselves and start from scratch.Sometimes we have to peel away the old layers to see the newtransformed versions of ourselves. And there are times, too manyactually, where we don't want to change even though we know thatwe must.It's hard to part with our old ways - habits and belief systemsthat we know we've outgrown but have become so familiar with.
