Sarah DessenYou can't just plan a moment when things get back on track, just as you can't plan the moment you lose your way in the first place.
About This Quote
There’s no such thing as a perfect moment for action, because things change by the second and we can’t predict what will happen next. For that reason, we shouldn’t plan what we’re going to do when we get things back on track; we should be prepared for anything. There are always all sorts of unexpected difficulties and obstacles in the way. If you don’t expect them, they won’t ever get in your way. Instead of trying to predict your path forward, just remember the words of the sage: Things change by the second.
