You really only have two options: growth or death. You don’t get to stay the same - because everything changes. Businesses, relationships, the human soul never stay the same. They’re either moving forward: growing; or they’re dying.

A relationship cannot stay the same. Either the two individuals constantly and steadfastly work to make it better, or it fades and maybe even ends.
The human soul is no different. No one can stay the same. If you try to stay the same, if you refuse to develop yourself, if you don’t practice being an ever-better human being, then you’re starving your soul and it will die. Your body may not die. But your soul will shrivel in on itself and wither. Growth is as necessary for the human soul as it is for businesses and relationships.
