Najwa Zebian Quotes

You are just growing and blossoming into the world, and that scares those who want to keep you a certain way to feel better about themselves. Maybe they define their goodness as people or their being enough as people by the controlled image they have of you.

To embrace change is to understand that it is not having followers that makes you a leader. It is leading your life with decisions, responsibility, initiative, and autonomy. You can be a leader on your own and have people walk with you as they lead their own paths.
