You can't remain the same and expect to become all you are destined to be. You will have to outgrow all smallness, you will have to embrace change.
Change comes with discomfort, it may be difficult, but it's necessary. Growth may be painful but there is nothing as painful as staying stuck in where you are used to and not striving to reach where you truly belong.
Often it's your biggest pain that causes you to grow to your highest self, but the pain doesn't last forever, when it's gone, you have 'growth' to show for it.
If you truly desire greatness, don't expect it to come easy. If it's the top you are going to, don't expect an easy climb.
Everyone wants to be great until they discover what it takes, everyone wants to be a success, until they catch a glimpse of the process.
Nothing great comes easy, life won't always give you what you want, not because you don't deserve it, but because there are prices you must pay, and sacrifices you must make, and until you decide to give it all it takes, it will never be yours.
The journey won't be easy, the path won't be straight, there will be obstacles on the road, there will be mountains to climb and great pain to endure, but if you've captured the success you desire in the eyes of your mind, it becomes more easy to endure the process.
What can you see? How far can you imagine? Picture the greatness you desire, capture the reality of your dreams, then come to the present and pay the price.
Nothing great in life comes easy, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it, if it was cheap, everyone would have been great.
Take it one step at a time. Find joy in your journey, be at peace with your process, Higher is calling, don't settle where you are.
Always strive to become more. Progress stops, greatness is aborted, when you become satisfied. By Nesru Michael
