#Growth

"With every choice you create the life you’ll live; with every decision you design it."

"The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself."

"If I told you that my global audience has shot up 100% in the last six months, what would you say? If you were to say, “So you went from one reader to two readers?” you’d be absolutely correct. And after I had congratulated you on your keen guess, I’d thank you for being 50% of my reading base."

"The roses of romance grow when you water your relationship with gratitude. Love will bloom and blossom when you recognize the awesome."

"We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it."

"Art has a double visage: it looks before and after. Romance is its forward-looking face. The germ of growth is in romanticism. Formalism, on the other hand, consolidates tradition; gleans what has been gained and makes it facile to the hand or the mind; economizes the energy of genius."

"When I lost her I gained the future, because she was my past, and she freed me to become who I was born to be."

"The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving."

"Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me,' and when you have found that attitude, follow it."

"A farm is a business, and I ran mine into the ground. The next year it grew back."

"Every day I’m growing as a man. I’m not growing in height, but rather I’m growing in love, which makes me seem taller than I really am."

"The day is ending. It's time for something that was beautiful to turn into something else that is beautiful. Now, Let go."

"You can grow like a tall tree, when you enjoy the sun, wind, rain, storms and the stars in the dark nights."

"No matter what happened yesterday it is insignificant when compared to what lies within the core of your being today."

"Tough love may be tough to give, but it is a necessity of life and assurance of positive growth."

"Most often people seek in life occasions for persisting in their opinions rather than for educating themselves."

"A young outcast will often feel that there is something wrong with himself, but as he gets older, grows more confident in who he is, he will adapt, he will begin to feel that there is something wrong with everyone else."

"To reap a return in ten years, plant trees. To reap a return in 100, cultivate the people."

"More learning can occur when there are many obstacles then when thear are few or none. A life with difficult relationships, filled with obstacles and losses, presents the most opportunity for the soul's growth. You may have chosen the more difficult life so that you could accelerate your physical progress"

"I fall in love with you four times a year: winter, spring, summer, and fall. The leaves may change, but how I feel about you does not."
