Personal Growth
Commentary by Peter Shepherd

“You will either step forward into growth or step backward into safety.” ~ Abraham Maslow
Growth means reaching out toward a valued higher destination, overcoming obstacles on the way and learning in the process. Learning is like rowing upstream - if you stop you go backwards, because the flow of life never stops offering new challenges, new opportunities. Including opportunities to be of service, because that's what raises the vibration the most. And that's the game.
“Change is inevitable but personal growth is a choice.” ~ Bob Proctor
As Jim Rohn said, "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much."

“Truth can be staring you in the face but you don't recognize it because of assumptions you forgot you made.” ~ Peter Shepherd
Removing the cobwebs is easier said than done, of course. So much invested in those old beliefs.

“Do not do tomorrow what you can do today.
If you feel the need to forgive, forgive today.

Live for today, not for tomorrow.” ~ Wallace Huey

Wallace Huey further says, "High values offer broad vision. Broad vision gives rise to burning desire. Burning desire leads to focused intent. Focused intent stimulates committed action. Then God arranges the details!
“The real potential of in-depth living requires involvement, by recognizing a need, overcoming fear and taking responsibility. Watching from the sidelines does not achieve worthwhile goals and provides little fulfillment.” ~ Peter Shepherd
