All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward by Ellen Glasgow meaning.

Not everything you do is positive progress. There are enough cases when people change for the worst. For example, if you start taking drugs. It's a change of lifestyle, finance, relationships, maybe values. However, that doesn't mean it's a positive change. As it is commonly known, drugs are have a horrible influence on your life. And even though it might be a change, it's definitely not growth or forwards progression.
