When You Stop Growing, You Stop Being Happy

Yes

Some of the happiest people I know are the ones who never stop learning or trying new things. Instead they continue to grow as they move through life by saying “yes” to the many opportunities that life sends their way. They understand that in life, you either move forward or backward. There is no such thing as staying where you are because the minute you stop growing, life starts to pass you by; and there is very little happiness associated with that. As American psychologist, Abraham Maslow put it: “If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I assure you that you’ll be unhappy the rest of your life.” The lesson here is for us to say “yes” to life because we’ll be much happier if we do!
