Quotes about personal growth

Motivational quotes

 Wherever you are in life there's always room for growth. There is never a time when you should stop learning and growing. Life is a great teacher and there is something that you can learn every day if you allow yourself to. Never feel as though you know everything, you're only deceiving yourself. Learn from your experiences, learn from other people, and learn from nature.

 Whatever you do never stop growing in every aspect of your life. Challenge yourself to do better than the last time. Don't ever accept complacency or mediocrity. Don't ever feel proud of forever remaining in your comfort zone. Be like the trees planted by the rivers of water, keep flourishing. Take care of yourself and avoid anyone that relinquishes your growth. Make no place for stagnation. Keep growing to your maximum.

All these things are predetermined by a higher power. By the time you are old enough to start making decisions for yourself, a lot of things in your life are already in place. It’s important, therefore, that you focus on the future, the only thing that you can change.”

The vision of your true destiny does not reside within the blinkered outlook of the naysayers and the doom prophets. Judge not by their words, but accept advice based on the evidence of actual results. Do not be surprised should you find a complete absence of anything mystical or miraculous in the manifested reality of those who are so eager to advise you. Friends and family who suffer the lack of abundance, joy, love, fulfillment, and prosperity in their own lives really have no business imposing their self-limiting beliefs on your reality experience.”
― Anthon St. Maarten


30.“The barrier during self-improvement is not so much that we hate learning, rather we hate being taught. To learn entails that the knowledge was achieved on one's own accord - it feels great - but to be taught often leaves a feeling of inferiority. Thus it takes a bit of determination and a lot of humility in order for one to fully develop.”
― Criss Jami
