"The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life"

- Leo Tolstoy

About this Quote

This quote by Leo Tolstoy speaks with the concept that true change in our lives need to come from within. It is insufficient to just make a mental resolution to try something brand-new; rather, we should be directed by our conscience and our moral compass. This indicates that we need to want to make modifications that are in line with our values and beliefs, even if it is hard or unpleasant. It is only through this kind of inner change that we can truly make enduring changes in our lives. Tolstoy's quote motivates us to look within ourselves and to be truthful about what we truly think in order to make meaningful changes. It is just when we are willing to live according to our conscience that we can make real progress in our lives.
