Life is much better when you consider growth and change, as these evolve quotes show.

One thing that is certain in life is that everything will evolve.

To evolve is to change and we are constantly changing as well as the things around us.

There can be comfort, or there can be fear in that knowledge.

The good thing is that bad things or times will not last forever, just as good things will not.

That realization should keep you constantly striving to grow.

If you choose to try and stay stagnant, things around you will still grow and you will be left behind.
