In order to grow...you

must betray their

expectations.

To dare is to lose 

one's footing

momentarily.

Not to dare

is to lose

oneself.

But there is nothing more painful as

staying stuck somewhere you don't belong.

Sometimes you have to distance yourself

to get a clearer picture

of what's happening around you.

The key is to keep company

only with people who uplift

you, whose presence calls

forth your best.

The eagle never lost

so much time as when

he submitted to learn

of the crow.

If you want to fly

you have to give up the things

that weigh you down

Keep going, change looks so beautiful on you.

You must allow yourself 

to outgrow and depart 

from certain eras of 

your life with a gentle 

sort of ruthlessness.

You cannot swim for the new horizons until

you have courage to lose sight of the 

shore.

It is not the strongest of the

species that survives, nor the most

intelligent that survives.

It is the one that is most adabtable

to change.

Growth is painful. Change

is painful. But nothing is

as painful as staying stuck

somewhere you don't

belong.

Sometimes the scariest bridge to

burn is the one between you and

the person you thought you were.

Knowing is not enough, we

must apply. Willing is not

enough, we must do.

Don't give your

past the power to define

your future.

You are allowed to

outgrow people. This

includes past versions of

yourself.

You can't grow with people

who don't love how growth

looks on you.

You have to decide who you are

and force the world to deal with

you, not with its idea of you.

She's learning 

to walk away

from anything

that doesn't 

left her spirit,

and nurture 

her heart.

When setting out on 

a journey do not seek

advice from those who

have never left home
