"L'agonie de surmonter ses limitations personnelles est l'agonie de la croissance spirituelle"
— Joseph Campbell
Simplified Meaning:
Growing as a person often means pushing past your own limits and facing challenges that feel very tough. Imagine an athlete training to get better – they have to push their body to its limits, which can be painful and exhausting. Similarly, when we try to improve ourselves, whether learning new skills or changing bad habits, it can be really hard and uncomfortable. It's like feeling growing pains when you were a child. This struggle is necessary because it helps us to become stronger and better individuals. By working through these difficulties and not giving up, we gain wisdom and grow in ways that make our lives richer and more fulfilling.
