What would happen in a world where we gave people both the room and the grace to grow and change at their own personal pace?

Maya Angelou said, "when people tell you who they are, believe them." What if we opened our mind to the idea that every human is STILL growing and becoming who they were born to be? What if we saw people as saplings with the potential to grow into mighty trees? What if we viewed our mistakes, and the mistakes of others as the normal pruning that comes with growing the strongest tree imaginable? Not giving up on people gives us the opportunity to have front row seats to miracles.
