About this Quote

This quote by Taylor Dayne speaks with the concept that material belongings do not correspond to true freedom. In spite of having all the features of success, Dayne was still not complimentary. This recommends that flexibility is an internal state of being, instead of something that can be bought or attained. True liberty is not discovered in the accumulation of material possessions, however rather in the ability to be content with what one has and to be able to live life on one's own terms. Dayne's quote is a pointer that real freedom is not something that can be bought, but something that needs to be earned and cultivated within oneself. It is a tip that true freedom is discovered in the capability to be content with what one has and to be able to live life on one's own terms.
