“Sad is the day for any man when he becomes absolutely satisfied with the life he is living, the thoughts that he is thinking and the deeds that he is doing; when there ceases to be forever beating at the doors of his soul a desire to do something larger which he seeks and knows he was meant and intended to do.”
What this quote means
This quote warns us against complacency. When we feel completely satisfied with our life, thoughts, and actions, we stop growing. There is in us an innate desire to aim higher, to accomplish something greater, and this desire is a sign that we have not yet reached the end of our path. Sadness comes when we stifle this aspiration. It is a call to keep moving, to constantly seek our true calling.
