Lily Graham… real life hardly ever unfolds the way we’d like it to, not like in a story.
About This Quote
Real life often doesn’t unfold the way we’d like it to, not like in a story. The trouble with life is that it rarely unfolds in a straight line, and rather than following a predetermined plan, it often takes unexpected twists and turns. There are many things that can go wrong when we’re trying to make something work. For instance, when we take a long-term goal and try to rush to reach it, we might spend a lot of time giving up along the way. We have to be patient when working toward our goals, because sometimes real life doesn’t unfold the way we’d like it to.
