View your spiritual growth as a work in progress. Take great satisfaction in how far you have come, but recognize that the more you learn, the more work there is yet to do.
You are neither the child you were, nor the old person you will become.
Nagasema
Inevitably, life’s day-to-day demands will distract even the most dedicated of seekers. Not to worry, just try to keep the lapses brief. The longer the detour, the more difficult it will be to steer back on course.
He who interrupts the course of his spiritual exercises and prayer is like a man who allows a bird to escape from his hand; he can hardly catch it again.
Saint John of the Cross
There will come a time when you look back at your younger self, and marvel at the gap between who you were then and who you are today.
We may discover that we are most ourselves when we are furthest from the self we think we ought to be.
Thomas Moore
