“We’re not a chunk of clay that needs to be molded and shaped. We’re sensitive human beings who need acceptance and love, especially from ourselves. Like a plant that receives ample sunlight and water, we grow when conditions are supportive. Positive change and growth happen as we allow ourselves the potent nutrients of self-acceptance and gentleness,” - Dr. John Amodeo of Psychology Today

“What helps us to grow and evolve is self-awareness and mindfulness. We may be searching for 'self-improvement,' but personal growth happens through an active process of deeply listening to ourselves and affirming ourselves as we are.” - Dr. John Amodeo of Psychology Today

Changing yourself without losing yourself is called growth. - unknown
