"It takes a deep commitment to change and an even deeper commitment to grow."
– Ralph Ellison
You won't change because you're afraid of what the new you might be.
You won't grow because you're comfortable with your current self.
You won't change because you may lose some privilege.
You won't grow you're attached to that privilege and all it affords you.
You won't change because that would require too much empathy.
You won't grow because you can't imagine treating everyone with compassion.
You won't change because you don't see the need.
You won't grow because you don't see the possibilities.
You won't change because because you are inflexible, stubborn, and proud.
You won't grow because that would require too much vulnerability.
You won't change because you enjoy your power with the way things are.
You won't grow because that would mean sharing some of that power.
You won't change because you have a scarcity mindset.
You won't grow because you can't envision living with an abundance mindset.
You won't change because that would upset that natural order of things.
You won't grow because that would disrupt the status quo.
You won't change because you're not committed to change.
You won't grow because you're not committed to growth.
