• When making a choice, always choose the one that pushes you the most, increases your growth and promotes the unfolding of your gifts, talents and personal powers. • We experience growing pains because it is a challenge to grow. If it wasn’t hard initially, it wouldn’t be a real and valuable change.• It’s your decisions that make your results.
