Change is a part of life, and that's just a fact! Sometimes change is great, and sometimes it's one of the hardest things you'll have to deal with. If there's one person who knows about this, it's Ree Drummond! The Pioneer Woman had to go through a huge adjustment when sending off her youngest, Todd, to college. It's a bittersweet feeling that will always bring Ree to tears. Even Ree's oldest daughter, Alex, went through some change over two years ago when she got married to her hubby Mauricio! Now, that was definitely a happy transition! Transformation can be seen in lots of things—but whatever it is, these quotes will help get you through all of the positive and difficult ones.

If you're looking for some reassurance that you are, in fact, moving in the right direction, look no further than this quote from Deepak Chopra: "All great changes are preceded by chaos." And it doesn't have to be all that serious, either. There are plenty of happy quotes to read through! Alan Watts' words are a perfect choice for those interested in making the most out of an upcoming change (and it happens to double as a great winter quote about jumping into a pile of snow, too): "The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance."

P.S. We've also got plenty of great New Year quotes and quotes about gratitude to read through as well. Inspiration, here you come!
