About This Quote

The Dalai Lama said, "I give you this to take with you: Nothing remains as it was. If you know this, you can begin again, with pure joy in the uprooting." The first part of the quote is often interpreted as a warning not to cling to the past and not to be frightened by change. However, his advice is also about preparing oneself for the future. The second part of the quote really says that we should be excited about change and should embrace it as a positive force that allows us to grow and improve.
