Take any path you like; follow any prophet you like; but have only that method which suits your own nature, so that you will be sure to progress.

All progression is in the relative world.

True progress is slow but sure.

Unless we progress, we regress.

If you want to grow a giant redwood, you need to make sure the seeds are ok, nurture the sapling, and work out what might potentially stop it from growing all the way along. Anything that breaks it at any point stops that growth.

We can't be in survival mode. We have to be in growth mode.
