A bird only conquers the sky when it has mastered enough courage to lose sight of the ground.

About This Quote

Birds are often seen flying high above the ground. They are considered to be the most courageous creatures since they are able to go so high in the sky. However, there is a time for birds to actually fly lower than their surroundings. This is done when they have mastered enough courage to lose sight of the ground.

This means that they have reached a point in life where they no longer care about what happens on the ground. They are completely focused on reaching for the sky.
