Simplified Meaning:
Everyone changes over time, and that's okay. This quote means that you don't have to stick to the same ideas, actions, or feelings you had just a moment ago. Imagine you just gave a bad speech at school and felt embarrassed. Instead of feeling bad all day, you can choose to learn from it and do better next time. Life is full of chances to grow and improve, so you shouldn't feel stuck being the person you were even just a short while ago. By understanding this, you can free yourself from past mistakes and keep moving forward to become a better version of yourself.
