"Noble individuals embrace change not only in the world, but also in their own sense of self. They aren’t afraid to give themselves new goals and purposes when their own unique individuality demands it. Nietzsche calls it the need for self-overcoming. To fail to acknowledge this need is to fall victim to dogma, a belief in the timeless value of one way of organizing the self or of understanding the world. Dogma always stifles individuality by leading you to reject change as an essential part of what you are, and in so doing causes you
to fail to live in accord with the challenges of existentialism."
