About This Quote

The expression, “You know there’s got to be a better way of life – somewhere, sometime, somehow – but you’re not exactly sure what better is” is a fine example of how people can feel trapped in their current situation. Sometimes we don’t have the answers to all the questions that we have about what a good life might look like. We may even feel unsure whether a better life could exist at all. This uncertainty can make us feel helpless and hopeless. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
