Your life will consist of a series of times when you must reinvent yourself. We desperately cling to the idea that things should stay the same, but life and growth are about change. Don't mistake the end of a chapter for the end of the story. Lean into the plot changes, and follow your character arc. If you are in a dark part of your tale, know that this night will not last forever, but you must be brave enough to see it through. This is not the end, oh no my friend. Take courage. Better things await you. John Mark Green
About This Quote

When we are young we tend to want more of the same, which can be seen as a failure as we were fully capable of doing more as children. However, as we get older we seem to want less and less of the same. This is because as we grow and mature we develop new skills that we wish to apply to our lives. These skills need to be used and that means that they need to be applied and used on a regular basis otherwise they will go to waste.
