"Growth demands a temporary surrender of security"
- Gail Sheehy
About this Quote
This quote by Gail Sheehy speaks to the concept that in order to grow and develop, one need to be willing to take risks and step beyond their convenience zone. Development is not something that can be achieved without effort and sacrifice. It needs a person to be willing to let go of the security and stability of their existing circumstance and take a leap of faith into the unknown. This can be a hard and intimidating process, but it is essential in order to reach one's full potential. Growth is not something that can be attained without taking risks and welcoming change. By temporarily giving up security, one can open themselves as much as new opportunities and experiences that can result in individual growth and development.
