Life Chapters Quotes

“There are chapters of our lives that once fit perfectly but eventually become too tight. Jobs that once felt exciting might feel limiting. ... We may fear hurting others or stepping into the unknown. ... Outgrowing a life does not diminish its value. The job you leave taught you skills. The relationship you end gave you memories. ... Lives we outgrow are not discarded; they are chapters that brought us to this page”

“We are a succession of selves. The person you were at five is different from who you were at fifteen, twentyfive, fifty. ...

They were trying to meet their needs with the knowledge they had at the time”
