“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” – Abraham Maslow
This quote is another powerful quote. It’s so easy to take the safe route but that won’t do anything for your personal growth. Take a risk and choose the route for your growth to keep improving yourself.
“Take responsibility of your own happiness, never put it in other people’s hands.” – Roy T. Bennett
I love this quote so much. So many people look for happiness from other people like in relationships. This is not how to make yourself happy. You need to be happy on your own and then you’re better to be around.
“Don’t go through life, grow through life.” – Eric Butterworth
This quote is so simple but so important. It’s important to grow each and everyday and not give go through each day. Life can become so boring and sad if you don’t continue to grow.

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” – Frederick Douglass

“Believe in yourself, your abilities and your own potential. Never let self-doubt hold you captive. You are worthy of all that you dream of and hope for.” – Roy T. Bennett
This is so important to remember. You are capable of anything so don’t let your self-doubt hold you back from everything you can do and everything you can become.
“Recognizing that you are not where you want to be is a starting point to begin changing your life.” – Deborah Day
This is another favorite of mine. It takes courage to know that you need to make a change and to make that change in your life. Don’t stay in a place in your life that doesn’t make you happy because it’s easier.
“Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.” – Steve Maraboli
This is such an important quote to remember. I’m often at fault of this one for stressing over things I don’t have control over. I feel like a lot of people do this as well and we need to remind ourselves not to.
“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison
This quote by Thomas Edison is another great one. So many people give up too quickly because success doesn’t come quickly enough. However, it’s important to remember that good things take time and you need to put in the work to get what you want.
“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you… never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” – Harriet Beecher Stowe
Another great one similar to the one above. Things can get difficult but it’s important to remember that things will get better and not to give up.
“Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.” – Roy T. Bennett
This is a great quote to keep in the back of your mind. We all have some many dreams and things we want to accomplish but we’re always help back by the fears we have about going for those dreams. Remember that your dreams are worth the risk.
“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.” – Carl Bard
This is a another quote that I love. It doesn’t matter what happened in your past. You can make changes starting anytime and make things better for your future.
“It is never too late to be who you might have been.” – George Eliot
This quote is short and sweet but so powerful. It’s simply saying it’s never to late to change things up and be whoever you want to be. Don’t let anything hold you back.
“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” – Maya Angelou
This is something so important to keep in mind. If you can’t change something you don’t like change your attitude. Don’t let it upset you and get you down. Move on and find things you do like.

“The only time you fail is when you fall down and stay down.” – Stephen Richards
This is another great quote. When you fall you need to keep picking yourself back up and keep working towards your goals consistently.
“Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still.” – Chinese Proverb
