On loving freely

Do these words ring true with any other bloggers?

I quit trying to be great. Once I had aspirations of making a name for myself, becoming a famous person. Now I just want to learn to be a person. I dreamed of speaking before thousands of people frozen under the spell of my voice. I was going to change the world. Now I realize: I cannot even change myself.

I can certainly relate. By the way, those are the words of my very own blogfather, Doug Floyd.
