About This Quote
There is a tendency in life to be satisfied with only what we have and not want more. When we enjoy what we have, we feel content and happy. However, this feeling of satisfaction can become a trap that keeps us from living our dreams and fulfilling our ambitions. As we continue to live our lives, the more we want to get out of where we are and move towards where we want to go. The best way to achieve this is to challenge ourselves with an opportunity that will give us more than what we already have.
