About This Quote
These words are similar to the saying, "If you can't beat them, join them." When it comes to change, people often find themselves stuck in the middle of it. They want change, but they fear it. They fear what they don't understand. But, when they do understand the new thing that has come into their lives, it becomes impossible for them to accept it.
To accept something new takes effort and courage. It takes someone who is willing to change their ways and who is willing to stick with the new thing until it becomes second nature.
