You see, what we do with what He gives us determines how much more we will get.

~ Karen A. Baquiran
I always stopped myself from crying because I wasn't allowed to feel my bad emotions. I've learned that there is no such thing as bad emotions. To expand is to feel everything because they are part of being human. Never resist your true feelings because then you're resisting yourself and your chance to grow.
Yes, you're right. It's part of growing up, I suppose. You always have to leave something behind you.
~ Neil Gaiman
If we dismiss all of our hard work, including the very foundation we stand on, and its cracks, we won’t get very far because it takes a foundation from which to begin. Be proud, and embrace “your normal.

In the midst of your struggles, you WILL find a reason to keep going. Don’t give up!
~ Robert Tew
When we read stories of heroes, we identify with them. We take the journey with them. We see how the obstacles almost overcome them. We see how they grow as human beings or gain qualities or show great qualities of strength and courage and with them, we grow in some small way
~ Sam Raimi
You’ll get better with time so be patient with yourself.
There's always something coming. Good or bad, it's going to force you to grow.
Nothing happens without waiting. The seed in the ground does not become a tree overnight. It goes through seasons, nurturing, watering, pruning before it bears fruit.
~ Ngina Otiende
People don’t need to be forced to grow. All we need is favorable circumstances: respect, love, honesty, and the space to explore.
~ Ellen Bass
Familiarity breeds contempt, for others at first, but then inwardly, contempt towards ourselves.
The past will only catch you, if you ran from it to begin with.
Four months in the life of a seventeen-year-old is the stuff of swings and roundabouts,... Never again in your life do you possess the capacity for such total personality overhaul.
~ Zadie Smith
Inability to accept positive change is a hindrance to growth.
~ Amitava Chowdhury
Am I a storm-waster? For it is within the fury of the very storms within which I cower that I find resources for my growth that are entirely absent on calmer days.
~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
I could tell he was just as scared to love as I, But we still both carelessly climbed into eachothers arms and before we knew it, love had found us.
Destroy yourself. Be on the edge of it all, and right before that weird place tells you to let it go completely; let the energy go in all directions. Falling on your face will never be fun, or purposeful. You don't own energy; you own the inertia!
~ James Emlund
Don't base your decision on the opinions of those who don't want to see you grow.
~ Yvonne Pierre
If I know something, I am not a victim. Victims don't know the meaning of their suffering. I am an enemy or a collaborator, not a victim.
~ Rachel Klein
I do... to this day, think that success is being able to look in the mirror and know that I'm alright on that day. I don't believe I've made it–I believe that I'm making it. I believe that I've found my past so that I can live in the present, it's the most important thing to me. The books and the plays and the touring and the gigs and the speeches and the cash...it all pales into insignificance when compared with knowing that I didn't do anything wrong, and I'm going to be okay now.
~ Lemn Sissay
We add caveats to prayers like seasoning to bad sauce. We hope for something else or something more, but we forget. Sometimes life isn’t the pleasure of the taste, rather the nutrition we get from it.
A person who faces unique miseries learns much. All time transports him rich insights.
~ Darmie O-Lujon

It is so easy to demonize free-market and the freedom to outsource and offshore because it is so much easier to see people being laid off in big bunches, which makes headlines, than to see them being hired in fives and tens by small and medium-sized companies, which rarely makes news.
~ Thomas L. Friedman
Every person, experience and circumstance are opportunities for spiritual growth and development. They are not coincidences… they are synchronicities.
~ Renee Cefalu
While those who continuously get themselves the supply of growth, smile through life.
The universe begins in infinity and move in infinity, your soul is part of the universe you have no end; your soul will always thrive in eternal flame.
