Nurturing Growth

Any person can be better, given a better environment.

An environment that supports, encourages, and empowers them, not one that belittles and judges them.

Any person can be better when surrounded with people who push them forward, inspire them, help them grow, and let them explore their interests and satisfy their curiosities.

Any person can be better with mentors and heroes who guide them in the right direction and teach them the skills necessary to navigate the world.

What about you—do you have that kind of environment? Did you have that kind of environment growing up?

And how are you to others? Do you help them become better? Do you give them the kind of space they need to grow?
