“There is no “right” way to grow. There are many paths to enlightenment and God. See what is beautiful in every person’s path, in every religion, and in every belief system. Honor other peoples’ paths even if they are different than yours. Be inclusive and loving, and look beyond the form of people’s beliefs to the essence. There is no right way; there is only the way that is right for you. There is something unique, perfect, and beautiful in every culture, in every system of belief. Look for what you have in common with others and accept and love those who are on different paths.
If you have been around people who wanted you to change a habit or do something differently, you know their trying to get you to change made it harder to do. To create a desire to grow in others, share you enthusiasm about your life. Listen to people, draw them out, and find ways to assist them in loving themselves more. Grow yourself, and become an example.”
