About This Quote
Sometimes, we’re so caught up in our own thoughts that we completely miss what’s happening around us; like with the five more minutes example. We feel the need to stay the same forever, but, in reality, everything is constantly changing. We can’t stay the same forever because that would be boring. instead of sticking to our original plans, we should adjust to our current situation. You can change your life by making small adjustments to your outlook on whatever situation you’re in.
