Life is all about change. Where there is no change, there can be no progress. If you want to grow, you must be willing to change. Here are 12 powerful C.S. Lewis that will change your life forever. Let’s explore them:

“You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you.”- C. S. Lewis

“Now, to-day, this moment, is our chance to choose the right side.”- C. S. Lewis

“We do not retreat from reality; we discover it.”- C. S. Lewis

“When you have reached your own room, be kind to those who have chosen a different doors and to those who are still in the hall way.”- C. S. Lewis

“Only a real risk tests the reality of a belief.”- C. S. Lewis

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken.”- C. S. Lewis

“We are born helpless. As soon as we are fully conscious, we discover loneliness. We need others physically, emotionally, intellectually; we need them if we are to know anything, even ourselves.”- C.S. Lewis

“Goodness is either the great safety or the great danger- according to the way you react to it.”- C.S. Lewis

“Each of us at each moment is progressing to the one state or the other.”- C.S. Lewis

“Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before.”- C.S. Lewis

“The most dangerous thing you can do is to take any one impulse of your own nature and set it up as the thing you ought to follow at all costs.”- C.S. Lewis

“If the universe is not governed by an absolute goodness, then all our efforts are in the long run hopeless.”– C.S. Lewis

Who are The People Around You?

Remember that not everyone in your house is your true friend. Some are happy for you when you are doing really well in your life. Others are not happy for you when you are doing well in your life.

Whether people are for you or against you, do not let that stop you from living your true life. Do not let other people’s perceptions of you define your life. You have got your life to live, to enjoy. If you are not enjoying it with the people you love, you are not with the right people. You are with the wrong ones. You are with the wrong people.

“Do not spend your time with people who are not for you.”

Life is too short. Life is for you! Live it! But do not live your life with people who are not for you, who are not for your success, who are not for your progress, who are not for your promotion, who are not for your happiness, who are not for your life. Do not hang around people who never stop talking about other people. If you are around talkers, leave them alone. If you are around procrastinators, leave them alone. If you are around bystanders, leave them alone. If you are around confused people, leave them alone. Because if you hang around lazy people, you are going to be like them.

But if you have the courage to walk your talk, to take a leap of faith, to do the impossible, your life will never be the same again. Whether you are okay with it or not, if you want to grow in your life, if you want to achieve your dreams, you have got to move away from people who are not for you. If you do not move away from the wrong minds, you are not going to achieve your dreams. Yes, you need people to help you succeed. Yes, you cannot succeed alone. But you do not need the wrong people in your life to succeed. Do not bring everybody into your life. Because you are a special Being!
