Left behind Quote by Samule Kermis
“Have you ever wanted more? More than it was given, more than the status quote, or just more in general. Has anybody ever called you greedy or selfish or perhaps mentioned to you that you should just be happy with what you have? Remember this, you deserve more. It's ok to long for more. The moment you stop wanting more; at that moment, not only do you stop progressing but you also start regressing. There's not such a thing as standing still, for the world is always moving; if you're standing still, you are being left behind. ~Andres Lara”
