About This Quote

People will often say that they have done everything that they wanted to do. In many cases, this is true. However, what people fail to realize is that they have not done everything that they wanted to do. The things that they want, the things that they desire, those things are endless.

This is one of those quotes about life with a lot of advice and meaning behind it. It is very appropriate for those who just want more out of life and want to accomplish more than what they already have accomplished. You may be on the right track but it’s never quite enough.
