I have reframed myself from a sales representative in Abbott and supplements (placenta) expert, to a longevity advocate and soon a wellness entrepreneur.  

Transformation is about changing who you are at the core — your mindset, values, or habits. It often comes from deep reflection, crisis, or intentional reinvention. I have had my share of crisis which led me to evolve to my present day self. 

Sure there are many regrets in my journey, many lingering questions like should I have done the compulsory 3 years government service to get my Annual Practising License back in 1994? But life is full of endless possibilities and destiny had made its turn. But I believe all my experiences, even failures are part of my transformation journey. So none of the years were wasted. Romans 12:2 says, “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Transformation in personal development mirrors this — it’s not just about skills, but about becoming a new creation in thought and identity.

Doing more of the same

I see some doing more of the same, which builds consistency, which I believe is good as mastery of any skill comes from repetition – be it a surgical procedure, a language,  or selling a product. Luke 9:23 calls us to “take up our cross daily.” That’s repetition — the staircase of consistent obedience and practice.

However, there is a plateau risk as without transformation, you may hit ceilings where effort alone no longer yields growth. The art of growth is knowing when you need a radical reinvention versus when you need consistent discipline.

Transformation sets the direction, it changes your trajectory; repetition provides the fuel. Transformation is God reshaping your skill sets and vision, while consistency is your daily walk with Him. Together, they create a rhythm of growth that is both personal and spiritual.

I am not afraid of isolation, failure or shame; because I have already lived there and survived it. I have become stronger not because I have never broken down or fallen to the bottom. In fact quite the opposite. 

I quietly healed, completely alone- with no rage, no chaos, no violence. Life took me apart, drove me to a corner and reduced me to my lowest terms. Broke with no direction. I decided to rebuild myself when God opened the door in 2020, brick-by-brick with nobody coming to save me except the Lord.

I don’t need anyone to believe in me, believe in my dreams. I don’t need anyone to validate my pain nor applause my progress. I thank God for this kind of refining as it can’t be taught in a class or read from books, but only forged in isolation, brokenness, when nobody understands the pain and nor see my hidden tears.

I will keep rebuilding, stop chasing, stop explaining myself to people who already decided not to understand or believe where I am going. I may not be the ready-made thing you are looking for as God is still molding and building me. I have learnt to stop searching for completion in another person, as it is only found within myself. I don’t need anyone’s approval as God has already approved of me. Instead I will guard my peace and rebuild.

When man says it is over that is when God takes over. Life stripped me down to nothing, then I looked at the truth about myself, sucked out the marrow of life, and knew that is a journey I had to go through. I was thrown to the very bottom so hard that I couldn’t recognize myself down there, till the Lord gave me the strength to claw my way up. 

When life fell apart and every single person quietly disappeared while I was facing multiple legal actions in court for debts, I learnt that that the only person I couldn’t abandon was myself. Even in the pit I knew God will never abandon me. I may be in the pit but my mind was on the palace. Going forward, I now carry a clarity, a considered view of future goals which cannot be faked, cannot be taught. I will live deliberately, God-reliant, grounded in way no one needs to understand.

Bryan Johnson (the world's most famous biohacker), the self-acclaimed most tested; most bio-measured man on earth revealed that he is suffering from “Autoimmune Gastritis” for which there is no cure.  In his own word his stomach is eating itself.

So the man in his own words say that we may be the generation that won’t see death is also going to die like all of us.  The idea of “Don’t Die” is in contrast to the natural course that Scripture describes.

Bryan conducting his "Don't Die" summit

I was sad to hear of his diagnosis as I am an admirer of Bryan Johnson, but always felt in my heart that God’s word remains despite men’s attempt to control its own destiny and bypass the natural order that God had placed. God specifically said that our years shall be 120. 

I am all for bio-hacking to enhance longevity and increase health span. It is wonderful that biohacking can enhance our health for a time, but we can’t escape the reality that we live in a world that’s subject to decay. The Bible talks about “bondage to decay” in Romans 8 that the whole creation yearns to be delivered from. Our ultimate hope for true enduring life is found in Christ Jesus, not in human efforts or the advancement of longevity science. 

Modern day biohacking no doubt can improve lives and make us healthier, but to defy death is questionable. It is a modern day attempt to push human limits in the same way the Tower of Babel aimed to reach heaven.  So let's pray for Bryan's health, for him to know the Lord, and his salvation.

When will our body not perish?

When Jesus returns our earthly bodies will come to an end, instead we will receive new, imperishable bodies that are free from death, sickness and decay (2 Corinthians 5:1-10) - moving from a mortal state to an eternal one.
