QUOTE : I take my coffee-stained shirt into the bathroom down the hall. Holding the stain under the faucet, something dark on the underside of my shirt catches my eye, and I groan. Great, what bizarre stain is this now?<br /><br />My fingers glide under the fabric, and I feel something plastic. I am mystified, so I flip over the shirt.<br /><br />Stuck to my shirt is a button pinned to the side hem. It’s pale blue with white lettering.<br /><br />YOU CAN’T REACH WHAT’S IN FRONT OF YOU UNTIL YOU LET GO OF WHAT’S BEHIND YOU.<br /><br />I stare at this in disbelief. Why is there a motivational button stuck to my shirt?<br /><br />YOU CAN’T REACH WHAT’S IN FRONT OF YOU UNTIL YOU LET GO OF WHAT’S BEHIND YOU.<br /><br />The statement is crap, because some of us will never be able to let go of what chases us.<br /><br />YOU CAN’T REACH WHAT’S IN FRONT OF YOU UNTIL YOU LET GO OF WHAT’S BEHIND YOU.<br /><br />The words nearly scream at me. Against my will, I smile.<br /><br />This is so weird, a button showing up on my shirt. So random. And yet, I admit, sort of wonderful. It’s a nice sentiment, and I should probably take it to heart.<br /><br />This button is probably smarter than I am.
