"If you don't change your beliefs, your life will be like this forever. Is that good news?"

This quote by W. Somerset Maugham is a suggestion that our beliefs shape our lives. If we do not make the effort to review our beliefs and make changes where essential, our lives will remain the exact same. This quote is a call to action, motivating us to take an action back and assess our beliefs and make modifications if essential. It is also a tip that our lives are in our hands and that we have the power to make changes if we want to. The quote also indicates that if we do not make changes, our lives will stay the same, which may not be a preferable result. The question at the end of the quote is a rhetorical one, indicating that the response is no, it is not good news.
