About This Quote
The greatest self is the grace to live for your dreams. This quote is one that I’ve heard many times now, and it’s one that I’ve contemplated quite often myself. It’s true that there are so many times in life where things don’t go as planned. There are so many times when you need to be better than your current status would indicate.
But, it doesn’t stop you from striving for something greater. When you look at successful people today, they are doing things that weren’t planned by their parents. They are doing things that they couldn’t have imagined when they were young.
The best thing you can do is dream big and take your opportunities when they present themselves.
