-Michelangelo-The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
I believe this 100%. We need to put higher goals that we are even afraid of them. Even if it seems impossible, just do it. Sometimes we need those big goals in order to work harder.

My favorite was,
-Michelangelo-The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.
This too is my best and favourite. This is because I have found myself in this space of having much after planning and aiming small and planning big and achieving little. This quite redirected my priority.

It's my favourite bcos it's not easy to sleep and wake up, but a privilege, a lot of people slept but couldn't wake, some lost their loved ones, some find their self in the hospital. This quote tells me to be grateful for the gift of life.

I adored this one too simply because it leaves you humble and makes you realize what is actually important, to be alive, to enjoy, to loveMiriam nkere wrote: ↑09 Jun 2021, 05:34 When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive-to breath, to think, to enjoy, to love." -Marcus Aurelius.

I have always admired those who have really big goals and are deliberate about achieving them, so this quote resonates with me.
