You have a responsibility to grow yourself. You have a responsibility not only to your family , but also to your future to grow your talents, your skills.

Do you think you can grow without a plan? Do you think you can avoid distractions without a plan? If you really want to achieve your goals, you need a plan.

Here are Orison Swett Marden quotes that will help you get to where you want to go:

“We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.”- Orison Swett Marden

Whether you like it or not, whether you want to hear it or not, you are a product of your environment. If you want to succeed in your life, you must surround yourself with positive, intelligent, hard working people. Do not be around negative people. Be around people who are ready and willing to stretch you, to build you, to take you to the next level, to bring out the best in you. There are people who are smarter than you are. There are people who have done what you are planning to do. Reach out to them. Open your mind to learn from their mistakes, their struggles, their failures, their disappointments. Do not focus on what they have, focus on how they got there. You can find winners right where you are just by paying attention to what you want to achieve in your life. But if you don’t pay attention to people who can help you grow your life, you miss it.

“All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.”- Orison Swett Marden

What do you want? What do you want out of life? Where are you going? Do you have a plan to get there? Do you know exactly what you want? Do you have what it takes to get it done? If not, what are you going to do to make your dream happen? What are you doing to improve your life? What steps are you taking to improve your life?

To achieve your goals, to make your life a masterpiece, you must know where you are going. It is your responsibility to find out what makes you happy. No matter what you do, you can always make yourself better than you were last year. Remember, if you are not stretching yourself, you are reducing yourself. Life is short to limit yourself. And whatever you want to do to improve your life, do it now. Because procrastination is a dream killer.

You Cannot Grow Yourself Without Stretching Yourself

“Stretching always requires change.”

John C. Maxwell

Stretch yourself. You cannot grow yourself without stretching yourself. When you stretch yourself, when you put yourself through an uncomfortable situation, when you do what others are not doing, when you push yourself beyond your normal range, you will grow, you will succeed.

People don’t grow because they don’t want to be uncomfortable. They don’t want to stretch themselves. They want to be safe and comfortable. Remember, no one can grow without leaving where they are, no one can grow without changing how they think, no one can grow without doing the unusual things, no one can grow without taking risks, and no one can grow without stretching his or herself.

“No one can grow without changing how they think.”

If you want to grow, make yourself a lifelong learner. Be a curious person. Be willing to go the extra mile, and don’t be afraid to walk it alone. Stretching is not comfortable, but the fruit is comfortable.

“You will either step forward into growth, or you will step backward into safety.”

Abraham Maslow

If you are not growing, you are dying. If you are not growing, you are shrinking. If you are not growing, you are reducing. If you are not growing, you are declining. If you want real growth in your life, stretch yourself. Do what people say that you cannot do. Push yourself beyond your safety zone. If you do that, growth is within your reach.
