Here are a few of my favourite quotes that remind me of the essence of personal growth; the courage and commitment that I think are essential.

 

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”  ― Rumi

 

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”  ― Rumi

 

“For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke

 

“When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

 

“When we seek for connection, we restore the World to wholeness. Our seemingly separate lives become meaningful as we discover how truly necessary we are to each other. We do not live in a world that encourages separateness. Only when we join with others do our gifts become visible, even to ourselves.” ― Margaret Wheatley

 

“And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” ― Anais Nin
