Quartz and Personal Growth
A quartz crystal can be of great benefit in taking steps towards personal growth, because it strengthens the energy that you yourself put out, and this, in turn, makes it easier for you to take growth steps. The amplified energy sent back to you from the crystal helps you make attitude changes, and helps you practice those changes until they become part of who you are. However, the crystal can't do the actual growth for you. Only you can do that. Remember that you "have to be it to have it". This means you must be a certain kind of person to have the energies or characteristics that go along with being that way.
People sometimes think that what crystals do is magic since they use a type of subtle energy that has not yet been discovered by science. But a crystal is not a magic tool, just a good tool in that it strengthens your own abilities and intentions. This means that in order to make a crystal work to help you grow, you have to put in the energy (in terms of intention) to make the growth steps yourself. You yourself have to increase your awareness in each particular area where you want to grow. A crystal or stone can not do that for you. It can not make you grow against your will, or with no effort on your part. But it will make it easier to reach a new awareness, and it will also make it easier to use your intention to practice that new awareness.
