"GROWTH IS PAINFUL, CHANGE IS PAINFUL, BUT NOTHING IS PAINFUL AS STAYING SOMEWHERE YOU DON'T BELONG'

This resonates with the Urantia Book's teachings on personal growth, spiritual evolution, and the importance of aligning with one's true purpose.

1. Growth and Pain:

"The universe is not a place of ease and comfort, but rather a realm of challenge and opportunity." (Paper 100, Section 4)

"Personal growth and spiritual development require the overcoming of difficulties and the endurance of hardships." (Paper 110, Section 3)

2. Change and Transformation:

"Change is the fundamental law of the universe... Growth and progress are impossible without change." (Paper 118, Section 2)

"The only constant in the universe is change; and the only thing that does not change is the will of God." (Paper 12, Section 5)

3. Staying True to One's Purpose:

"The greatest tragedy in the universe is for an individual to fail to find their true place in the divine plan." (Paper 112, Section 5)

"When an individual remains in a situation that is not consonant with their spiritual nature, they experience inner conflict and suffering." (Paper 103, Section 4)

The Urantia Book emphasizes the importance of:

- Spiritual growth and development (Papers 100-103)
- Aligning with one's true purpose and divine plan (Papers 112-114)
- Embracing change and transformation (Papers 118-120)
- Cultivating inner strength and resilience (Papers 110-111)
