Sometimes I feel as if I'm only a doorman awaiting the arrival of her royal majesty.

About This Quote

This quote is a perfect example of how different our lives can be. We all know that we are more than just a person who stands at the door and waits for someone else's arrival. We know that there is so much more to us than just the doorman role. There is so much more to life than merely waiting for something to happen.

I’m sure we all had moments when we felt as if we were only a doorman and nothing more. When we don’t feel like we have anything of value, it’s easy to begin believing that there is no purpose to life. We may even begin to believe that there is no meaning to life itself, or no reason to get up each day, or no reason to continue onward.

But Nelson Mandela proved us wrong with his words. The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
