“I’m through accepting limits, cause someone says they’re so. some things i cannot change, but ‘til i try i’ll never know.” - Wicked. The first performance this quote was used in was June 10, 2003. This quote was sang in a song from the musical Wicked by Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth. The song it is from is called Defying Gravity, It is all about flying against convention and finding your own way, even when you're told you can't, which is also the meaning of the quote from this song. I feel this quote is very good advice to pretty much anyone because it encourages people to express themselves and do what they want to do. To succeed in life you have to do things the way you want to do them, big things will come of it.

Instead of ending her talent in high school, she continued it in college, which is how she lives by the quote today. “Going to school for music is very tough, people are always going to set limits for me, i work hard everyday trying to step outside of those limits.” In the music industry people always expect certain things from certain people and are going to set limits for those certain people and everyday she wowed them with something bigger to step outside of those limits and raise their expectations for her. She would never know if she would be successful in the singing career until she tried, and that’s just what she did, which is how living by the quote affects her life. “I have to live by that quote because it’s what keeps me from giving up, it’s what keeps me from throwing in the towel.” Living by this quote has taught her how to never give up even when people make that very
