Personal Growth Quotes

“You might be everything that you don’t want to be. Yet, change is not found in some wholesale discarding of who you are, or in reveling in some misguided notion that you can actually do that in the first place. Change is found in accepting who you are and bringing the whole of yourself into the process of maximizing who you are. Then suddenly, you will find yourself wishing to discard none of who you are, and therefore holding onto every piece of everything that you’ve now become.”

“I want to share my story, and I want to know yours. I believe with all my heart that sharing our stories, the real, ugly, broken ones, is one of the most powerful things in the world, because to share our story we must first accept it. We must own it. We must stop running from it or shoving it into the corner when company comes over. To share our story is to admit that we've been changed.”

“Some people want you to grow — but only with them. They’ll cheer for your progress as long as it keeps circling back to their world, keeps them at the center of your expanding life. The moment your growth connects you to new people, new places, and new ideas beyond their reach, they grow restless. Not because they hate your growth, but because they fear it might one day carry you somewhere they cannot follow.”

“Never invest in any kind of relationship with anyone who is not willing to work on themselves just a little every day. A person who takes no interest in any form of self-improvement, personal development or spiritual growth will also not be inclined to make much of an effort building a truly meaningful connection with you. A relationship with only one partner willing to do the work ceases to be a relationship. And as anyone who has been there will tell you - it's pointless to try and dance the tango solo.”

“What will other people think? It reflects the human yearning for belonging versus the imagined harsh reactions of the world. But in reality, people care much less than you think, and that’s the naked truth.”

“Everything is connected - words, thoughts, emotions, our energy level.... Because of this interconnectedness, we can influence how we feel through our words. The more we begin to observe our words, the more we can use them to better our lives.”

“When we’re HIGH on life, then it’s because we have managed to strip away and let go of all of the barriers within ourselves that hold us back from life’s pure signal; when we’re LOW on life (at rock bottom), then it’s because we stopped listening for so long that life stripped those barriers away and forced us to listen.”
