Quote by Ricky Williams

I don't think people change. I think they definitely mature. But I think the essence of what I am today is the same as when I was five years old. It's just maturity. I've become a healthier, fuller expression of that essence.

I don't think people change. I think they definitely mature.

Summary

This quote suggests that while people may go through maturation, their core essence remains the same throughout their lives. The speaker believes that their fundamental nature established during childhood persists, shaping who they are as they grow older. However, through maturation, they have developed into a more evolved and improved version of their original self, expressing their essential qualities more healthily and fully. Ultimately, the quote implies that personal growth involves refining and expanding upon one's inherent traits, rather than fundamentally transforming them.
