I would rather be near the birds since I do not have the wings to fly.

This was said by a person, I can't remember her name in the show so we will call her Jane, who at the time found out she was dying. Jane spent her life following around a woman who was a feminist and had a lot of drive and pushed her way to the top. Jane did not strive for the top, she was more comfortable just fitting in and following. She knew her limits.

Today, there are many people who don't know there limits. I am one of them. I have never really pushed my limits. Some thing I have and something I have not. Right now I am happy with who I am. But that one sentence made me think. Am I happy?

In the end, Jane was told she was not dying. She went back to her old job were she was comfortable. She was happy. She was with her bird.

How many of us are with our bird?
Are we comfortable?
Are we happy?

Are we like a humming bird that attaches ourselves to geese and follow them to warmer climates or are we like eagles or hawks that sore to new heights and new goals?

What do we really want out of our lives?
What have we accomplish?
What goals do we have?
Are they realistic?

I challenge your thoughts.
Let me know what you think.
