About this Quote

By detaching a leaf from a calendar, we are symbolically letting go of the past and welcoming the future. This quote encourages us to be available to originalities and to benefit from the chances that include each brand-new day. It advises us that development is possible and that we must strive to take advantage of each day. By welcoming modification and progress, we can develop a much better future for ourselves and for those around us.
