Metanoia
μετάνοιαmeh-TAH-noy-ah
A fundamental transformation of mind and heart—not mere regret, but a complete turning around of one's understanding, perception, and way of being. In ancient Greek thought, it signifies the moment when scales fall from the eyes and one sees reality with new clarity.
Modern Application
When you recognize that your current path, assumptions, or identity no longer serve your highest purpose, metanoia calls you to turn completely—not to improve the old way, but to embrace a fundamentally new orientation. As a leader, cultivate the courage to undergo genuine transformation rather than superficial adjustment. Your willingness to experience metanoia signals to others that growth requires not just refinement, but sometimes complete reinvention.
