When did your flight plan become a holding pattern, always circling happiness, but never allowed to land? Distracted by in-flight movies, drinks, and snacks, until the fuel runs out. Is this really all there is? Is this what you want out of life?

John Mark Green
About This Quote

This quote is a beautiful metaphor for the modern world. We are all living in a holding pattern, circling happiness but never allowed to land. We are distracted by in-flight movies, drinks, and snacks, until the fuel runs out. The fuel is our ability to love each other, care about life, and stay awake through the day.

If you are always drowsy and tired from doing nothing, then you will never be able to accomplish anything great. Be vigilant and beware of distractions that drain your energy and make you sleepy.
