"You will suddenly realize that the reason you never changed before was because you didn't want to"

This quote by Robert H. Schuller speaks with the idea that we typically don't make changes in our lives because we don't want to. We may believe that we are stuck in a certain circumstance or that we can't make a change, but the reality is that we are often the ones holding ourselves back. We may be afraid of the unidentified or of the possible effects of making a modification, so we stay in our comfort zone. This quote motivates us to take an action back and review why we haven't made a modification yet. It suggests that if we make the effort to actually think about our motivations, we might realize that we are the ones avoiding ourselves from making a change. This quote encourages us to take a chance and make a change, even if it is scary. It reminds us that we have the power to make a change if we are willing to take the threat.
