Dictionary meaning
a philosophical observation, attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus, asserting that the universe is in a perpetual state of flux and that change is the one invariable feature of existence; used colloquially to encourage acceptance of uncertainty and transition, and to discourage resistance to inevitable evolution in one's personal circumstances, organisations, or the wider world; the phrase acknowledges that clinging to the unchanging is futile and that adaptability is the mark of wisdom
