Jose's metamorphosis had a great influence that went much beyond his outward look and kindled a flame of hope and will for his future. His fresh appearance set off more intense personal transformation and gave him new direction and hope. The knowledge that transformation was feasible—even after 25 years of living on the streets—opened his eyes to other possible adjustments in his life. This makeover was a physical reminder that, independent of past events, it's never too late to start over. Jose's will to use this metamorphosis into something more meaningful revealed a great awareness that, although the outward change was important, the real job ahead in preserving and expanding on this new beginning. His approach revealed a mature acceptance of personal responsibility, realising that although the makeover offered a chance, it would be up to him to translate this physical change into long-lasting life adjustments.
