Growth

"It is a great point of growth in your life when you allow what is luminous within to awaken you.   This may be the first time that you actually see yourself as you are.    To begin to get a glimpse of this essence is to come into harmony with your destiny and with the providence that always minds your days and ways the process of self-discovery may involve suffering, doubt, dismay.   But we must not shrink back from the fullness of our being in attempting to reduce the pain."  John O' Donahue
