“Growth has not only rewards and pleasures but also many intrinsic pains and always will have. each step forward is a step into the unfamiliar and is possibly dangerous. it also means giving up something familiar and good and satisfying. it frequently means a parting and a separation, even a kind of death prior to rebirth, with consequent nostalgia, fear, loneliness and mourning. it also means giving up a simpler and easier and less effortful life, in exchange for a more demanding, more responsible, more difficult life… it therefore require courage, will, choice, and strength in the individual, as well as protection, permission and encouragement from the environment.”
-Abraham Maslow
