About This Quote
When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too. How many times have you fallen short of your goals and felt like giving up? Have you ever known someone who always made excuses for why they couldn’t do something when the real reason was they simply didn’t want to try? You can’t be lazy when you are trying to do something. Have you ever had someone push you forward when you wanted to give up? That person probably loved you so much they knew you couldn’t give up on yourself, so they pushed harder than they should have.
