Growth- The beginning and the final destination

Moving, growing or rising, do they sound same or you can differentiate them from each other? For many of you, they may sound like synonyms but to me, all 3 have an importance in our lives. We all wish to grow, we want to achieve and more desirably, we want to prove ourselves in the eyes of people around. Right since the time as a child, we are taught to focus on one thing only i.e. achieve and to get that, compete and try to overcome the hurdles faster and effectively than others.

We should strive to grow in a way where at the end of the road, we can relish our journey and proudly say that we have achieved the goal.

Our each and every action is justified only when it helps us in reaching closer to our very own being. That is the sole purpose of our existence and we are capable of attaining it.

As it goes that Life is change and growth is optional. It is up to us what choice we make. We have to make a choice between things easily available and leading nowhere or things available with a challenge and lead us to eternity. I strongly believe in the following words-
