About this Quote

This quote by Margaret Mitchell talks to the power of track record and how it can shape our lives. It recommends that until we have actually lost our track record, we do not really comprehend the weight of it or the flexibility that includes being devoid of it. It implies that having a great credibility can be a burden, as it can limit our options and our capability to be our true selves. It also suggests that when we are free from the problem of our track record, we can experience true flexibility. This liberty can be liberating, enabling us to choose and express ourselves without fear of judgement or criticism. Ultimately, this quote motivates us to appreciate the freedom that includes being free from the concern of our reputation.
