If you believe, then you hang on. If you believe, it means you've got imagination, you don't need stuff thrown out on a blueprint, and don't face facts-what can stop you? If I don't make it today, I'll come in tomorrow.

So easy to fall into a rut, isn't it? Why should ruts be so comfortable and so unpopular?
Interpretation
What this quote means
Ruts can be easy to fall into because they feel comfortable, yet they often limit our growth and happiness.
This quote reflects on the paradox of ruts in our lives, suggesting that while they may provide a sense of comfort or familiarity, they can also stifle our potential and lead to stagnation. Ruth Gordon encourages us to examine why we find comfort in these ruts, even when they may not be serving our best interests, prompting us to seek change and growth instead.
