The key to living meaning fly is to notice it when it doesn't hurt. We spend our whole life trying to live up to someone's ideals for us, and those ideals aren't even your ideals. I came to the recognition at a point in my life that living up to my potential was a trap because people who respected me thought i was so much more than that. And we emphasize the dream without emphasizing the yor e’s or following your dream with emphasis on what you can do if you try hard enough.
