About This Quote
This is one of the most popular quotes by Marilyn Monroe. I’m sure it has been said to many people that have had to endure the changes that come with growing up. It has also been said that “The only thing that's constant is change,” which is true in regards to life experiences. Many of the things we once knew are no longer valid or relevant, but all people must go through change.
It’s part of growing up and learning how to deal with the unexpected. Because every situation has different aspects, I want to say there are three phases of change: Change 1: The Shock Whenever something unforeseeable happens, one might experience a shock. Sometimes this shock can be positive, such as when you get accepted into a university or go on a great date with someone you like.
This can also be negative if you are rejected from the university or end up not liking the person you are dating. Either way, it can be quite difficult to process these changes at first because they are out of your control. Change 2: The Adjustment After an initial period of shock, adjustments happen in both positive and negative ways.
For instance, you might begin adjusting to living in your dorm room for the first time or moving away from home for the first time. You might also begin adjusting to your new teachers at school or what classes you take each semester. Once these changes occur over time, they become routine and feel natural.
Change 3: The Acceptance Eventually, all change becomes routine and it becomes easier to accept things as they are without much thought about them. This is where the “measure of our lives” comes in because it helps us deal with things as they happen rather than thinking about them too much beforehand. If you learn how to accept changing situations as they unfold, then your life will never be dull!
