About This Quote
It’s by stooping that fingers create a fist, and by standing tall that they give us open palms. This quote is about the benefits of bending your will to get what you really want. When you go out of your way to get what you want, it can be difficult. The hard work behind accomplishing something is often more than the reward you get for your efforts.
But when you stop trying so hard, it’s actually easier to get what you want. It’s best to work towards the goal, but then stop. If you keep pushing, it just won’t come, no matter how much force you apply.
