QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Growth requires change. To reach our full potential, we must be willing to evolve and step out of our comfort zones. Staying where we are, mentally or emotionally, will never lead to the transformation we seek. Embrace the discomfort of change, knowing that it’s the only path to becoming the person you’re meant to be.
