For Aristotle, a being, for example, an animal, is born, grows, reaches its full development, generates another, and dies etc. What does that mean? It means only that this being senses that it is not completely itself. If it were completely itself, if it were a pure form, as Aristotle says, a pure idea, if it were completely itself, it wouldn't have to change. It changes because it's looking for itself.
In Schopenhauer's theory we are wills or, rather, we are phenomena of the will in general. We will in order to will, and when we have obtained what we willed for, we necessarily will something else, because by definition we are beings who are always in movement, who consequently always will.
