About This Quote

When you can be this, why are you ever anything else? The question of why we aren’t that thing that we could be is one that I’ve seen many times in my life.

We can strive to achieve our goals, but it’s hard to know if we will reach them or not. We can be great people, but sometimes we fail miserably at it.
