About this Quote

This quote speaks with the idea that when anything is possible, the remarkable becomes mundane and the regular is no longer considered approved. It recommends that when we have the ability to do anything, we end up being desensitized to the remarkable and take the regular for granted. This is since when anything is possible, the amazing is no longer remarkable and the ordinary is no longer seen as special. Instead, it is simply another part of the everyday. This quote encourages us to value the normal and acknowledge the remarkable, even when anything is possible. It advises us to be grateful for the daily and to recognize the appeal in the amazing. It is a suggestion to appreciate the little moments and to recognize the appeal in the remarkable.
