Step out of your comfort zone and face your fears. Growth takes place when you’re challenged, not when you’re comfortable. - Vex King

Create a relationship where you talk to each
other about your problems, not where you talk
about each other on social media. Statuses don’t
fix relationship issues, honest conversations do.

To establish this closeness with someone else, we need to have something called ‘reciprocal self-disclosure’ – this means being able to communicate often with each other, without fear or criticism, in an accepting way.

The great Greek philosopher Aristotle claimed that everything happens for a reason. You can apply this when you consider that every experience in your life is designed to shape you and help you grow into the highest and mightiest version of yourself. This means that even a negative experience can be seen as an opportunity for growth, rather than a time for suffering. (This doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t grieve or feel down when we do go through painful life experiences, and it’s important to give yourself time to heal after such events.)
