#Growth

"There is no beauty in sadness. No honor in suffering. No growth in fear. No relief in hate. It’s just a waste of perfectly good happiness."

"My love for you grows daily, and all it takes is exposure to your sunny disposition, coupled with watering it with coffee."

"Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape."

"I am my own biggest critic. Before anyone else has criticized me, I have already criticized myself. But for the rest of my life, I am going to be with me and I don't want to spend my life with someone who is always critical. So I am going to stop being my own critic. It's high time that I accept all the great things about me."

"Just when you thought you’d considered all the angles, life goes from a square to a cube. Love should also be 3D."

"Some people grow cotton, while I have a t-shirt farm. The rainy season is when I get the most visitors."

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

"Lineage, personality, and environment may shape you, but they do not define your full potential."

"Books... are like lobster shells, we surround ourselves with 'em, then we grow out of 'em and leave 'em behind, as evidence of our earlier stages of development."

"To fast track your business and become the Roger Bannister of personal branding, be a connector, accumulator, accelerator and facilitator of relationships."

"I trust that when people meet, we meet for a transcendent reason, and that the challenges we face in life are always lessons that serve our soul's growth."

"Love flows like flowers, and grows like water. I’m so thirsty for romance I could drink a dozen roses."

"Success works as a cycle - growth and contraction, balancing and unbalancing - all while you're encountering hurdles that get higher and higher over time."

"Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning."

"And like the sun, I will always rise."

"There’s no reason to not be humble, because as great as you may be, you can always be greater."

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

"Faithfulness in small things leads to faithfulness in great things, and never the other way around."

"Sometimes the door closes on a relationship, not because we failed but because something bigger than us says this no longer fits our life. So, lock the door, shed a tear, turn around and look for the new door that's opened. It's a sign that you're no longer that person you were, it's time to change into who you are. It's going to be okay."

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