Our business is to grow.
In the effort to grow we are not left without guidance.

The stimulus to grow, the forces and the tendencies that make for growth, all come from within ourselves.

Yet it is only to a limited extent that they come under our direct control.

So, too, the goal of growth, the ideal perfection of our nature, is our own; and yet on the way to it we must needs outgrow ourselves.

What part do we play in this mighty drama?
The mystery of selfhood is unfathomable.
