"Sometimes people here can get so focused on, Oh, I've got to get a flight, that it becomes the end all of everything. Then they go off and fly a couple of flights and they think, Okay, is that all there is in life? No, it's not. There's a whole big life out there"

- Shannon Lucid

About this Quote

This quote by Shannon Lucid is a suggestion to not get too captured up in the pursuit of a single objective. It is easy to end up being so focused on accomplishing a certain outcome that we forget to enjoy the journey. Lucid is suggesting that there is more to life than just accomplishing a goal. We need to take the time to value the experiences and relationships we have along the way. Life has to do with more than simply reaching a location; it has to do with the journey and individuals we satisfy along the method. We need to put in the time to take pleasure in the minutes and value the appeal of life.
