About This Quote

This quote is a great reminder to not get caught up in someone else’s race. If you are not where you are meant to be, that is okay. Do what you need to do to get where you are supposed to be, because there is no use in getting angry about it. If you are stuck, realize that the only acceptable case for being there is having no business there.
