Saint John of the Cross — 🌱 Self Growth Quote

We often recognize big obstacles but overlook the tiny attachments that quietly keep us stuck. Real growth sometimes means examining even the small threads — the comfortable habits and subtle fears — that prevent us from becoming who we're meant to be.

The soul that is attached to anything, however much good there may be in it, will not arrive at the liberty of divine union. For whether it be a strong wire rope or a slender and delicate thread that holds the bird, it matters not, if it really holds it fast.
