"Real growth is when nothing has changed around you, but something has changed within you.
What you see might be the same, but your vision is completely different. You are exactly as you have been, but now that person is enough. You have what you've always had, but you now see everything as a blessing. Frustrating situations still arise, but you find yourself not responding in the same way as before.
Believe me, it is easy to think you're growing when you're changing everything around you. Real progress is when you start seeing the same old things in a completely new way.
Real growth is when you look the same as you always have, but now you see that person as perfect and exactly who they are meant to be. Real growth is when you have what you've always had, but now it is enough. Real growth is when you stop trying to control situations, and start managing your reactions to them. Real growth is when really nothing around you has changed, and yet everything within you has.
It's not about waiting until the moment that you have the best of everything, it's about becoming the kind of person who can see the best in anything."
