Life is a cycle with numerous highs and lows. To keep going we constantly evolve. As we evolve we grow. Growth can be painful and the lessons that come with that growth may not always be what we would like, however if we look at how it has helped to shape us and make us better, then we will appreciate the many opportunities provided.
Some quotes on change and growth to encourage you to keep going.
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.

you would be paralysed.

the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birds' wings. ― Jelaluddin Rumi
