Quote reason paragraph

The reason I chose the quote I did,  is because I believe that it is something that I follow in my everyday life a lot of times,  and it is also a belief that I strongly admire.  This quote very much resonates the way I get through everyday life, because it depicts the way I act and influences the choices I make on an everyday basis,  a lot of times.  For example, picking which classes to take my Freshman year in High school. Some people might just want to make their Freshman year simpler so they can enjoy it more as their ‘first year of high school”, or make a decision based on that notion, because maybe they don't want to work as hard or maybe they're scared that they might not do so well, and that’s fine. However, it’s the exact opposite for me, I try to strive for a goal in which I will be challenged and not just one where I know I will succeed. That’s why I picked the quote, “If The Goal You Set Doesn’t Scare You A Little, Then It’s Not A High Enough Goal To Set.”-Mikkel S. I admire this quote very much and try to live by it as much as possible. That’s why when others are scared they might not do as well, and they make a decision based on that notion, like taking easier classes in high school, etc. For me I do the opposite, if a certain class in high school makes me a bit nervous or scares me little, then I make it my goal to succeed in that class. Sure you might end up having to do some more work, but the when you finally succeed the end result is so much sweeter than it would be if you had chickened out and taken an easier class. This is what I believe to be the the right quote for me, because it’s something that I can live by and something that I also very much admire. However if I literally lived every second of every day by this quote, there might be negative consequences like over exerting myself unnecessarily, that’s why I set limits to when I should live by this quote. I can use common sense, so I know that it's not about knowing literally every single moment when to live by this quote,  it's about knowing when not to.  I strongly believe that this is a quote that I can comfortably live by now,  and until the day I die.
