Peace Pilgrim Quotes About Growth

Quotes about: Growth

• If only you could see the whole picture, if you knew the whole story, you would realize that no problem ever comes to you that does not have a purpose in your life, that cannot contribute to your inner growth. When you perceive this, you will recognize that problems are opportunities in disguise. If you did not face problems, you would just drift through life. It is through solving problems in accordance with the highest light we have that inner growth is attained.

• It is through solving problems correctly that we grow spiritually. We are never given a burden unless we have the capacity to overcome it.

There is never really anything to be discouraged about, because difficulties are opportunities for inner growth, and the greater the difficulty the greater the opportunity for growth.

• When you have done the spiritual growing up you realize that every human being is of equal importance, has work to do in this world, and has equal potential.
