John BurroughsOne resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: ‘To rise above little things’.
About This Quote
This is a great quote. It suggests that we should try to rise above the little things in life and focus on the big picture. We should never focus on the things that we cannot control, but rather learn to move forward and focus on what we can control. Life is made up of small moments that we can control and those moments will ultimately determine who we become as people.
