Growing

You're here to grow into your best. You need to be free to grow, to have the emotional room to breathe, to stretch and try your wings, to succeed, and especially, to fail. There are no rules to guide you. You need to find your own way, at your own pace, and to accept the truths you discover about yourself. You have to give up your safety net and risk. You'll discover that your world grows with the mistakes you can take responsibility for. If you allow your parents to stay too close, you remain a child forever. You cannot grow in the presence of a parent who does not believe that you are good. You cannot grow if you are always protected. Growing is freeing the good that is already there. You do this by letting go of what does work for you. The loss of a false fantasy is a gain, but you have to find this out for yourself. You grow most when you live in the belief that you have something to give to the world. If you don't grow, everything becomes a repetition of the past. You always grow when you give your love. The self you admire is the person you become. Failure to admit the truth always blocks your growth, and even fools and children have lessons to teach. Don't grow old, grow better. To accept grow is to stay forever young.
