70 Powerful Quotes About Change and Growth

I really hope that you will enjoy reading this collection of Quotes about Change and Growth.

Change can be scary. It can make us feel anxious, nervous and sometimes even sick to our stomach.

Even the smallest of change to our daily routine that moves us out of our comfort zone can often feel quite scary.

An important thing to remember is that without change there is no growth, and while change might feel uncomfortable at first, this feeling will soon disappear when the change we make becomes a part of your daily life.

Try to get into the positive habit of embracing change. Why not start by making some small changes to your daily habits, maybe watch less TV, exercise more, use your mobile phone less, have a better diet, wake up earlier and perhaps start using a journal.

I hope that the following quotes about change will inspire and motivate you to make some positive changes in your life.
