44 Spiritual Growth Quotes For Your Spiritual Journey
In this article, discover 44 profound spiritual growth quotes to guide you through all phases of your spiritual journey as you awaken to your true self.
What Is Spiritual Growth?
Spiritual growth is the process in which you awaken to your true self—not the outer circumstances and experiences that you’ve defined yourself by but the truth of who you really are.
Eternal. Infinite. Limitless. Expansive. Connected to everything and everyone. More than words could ever begin to describe. More than you’ve ever believed yourself to be.
Your spiritual journey is sacred and personal to you, so I can’t tell you exactly what you’ll discover through this experience. But I can tell you that it will be transformative, and it will likely take you to places you never imagined.
This isn’t an overnight journey. Years into it, you will still continue to learn and discover new things about yourself and the world around you.
And while this spiritual journey is one of the most beautiful and worthwhile experiences you’ll ever have, it can, at times, feel very lonely. That’s why it’s important to step outside yourself every once in a while and remember that you’re not alone. You’re never alone.
Below, find 44 spiritual growth quotes to guide you in all phases of your sacred spiritual journey. Let these quotes be gentle reminders that you are not your fears. You are not your stories. You are not the labels you’ve been given.
You are more.
Always, always more.
