Growth

«Change and growth take place when a person has risked himself and dares to become involved with experimenting with his own life.»
«Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.»
«Adversity precedes growth.»
Author: Rosemarie Rossetti | About: Adversity, Growth | Keywords: precedes
«Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.»
«Do one thing everyday that scares you.»
«All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous, unpremeditated act without benefit of experience.»
«But everything that may some day be possible to many the solitary man can now prepare and build with his hands, that err less. Therefore, dear sir, love your solitude and bear with sweet-sounding lamentation the suffering it causes you. For those who are near you are far, you say, and that shows it is beginning to grow wide about you. And when what is near you is far, then your distance is already among the stars and very large; rejoice in your growth, in which you naturally can take no one with you, and be kind to those who remain behind, and be sure and calm before them and do not torment them with your doubts and do not frighten them with your confidence or joy, which they could not understand. Seek yourself some sort of simple and loyal community with them, which need not necessarily change as you yourself become different and again different; love in them life in an unfamiliar form and be considerate of aging people, who fear that being-alone in which you trust.»
«A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.»
