About This Quote
Leaving what is safe so you can be more , Derek said. The cage is what the bird knows; the sky is all the things he still wants to do even if it's a risk. This quote refers to the fact that in order to try and achieve something greater in your life, sometimes you must leave what’s comfortable and safe. If you want to become a doctor, for example, you will not be able to do it if you live in a small town where everyone works at the same job for 40 years and then retires. You need to leave that comfortable life and move to a large city where there are lots of different opportunities and possibilities.
