Ah, thanks! I feel his point was just to be the person you want to be. It took an intervention for me.

Composed by Irving Berlin, “Blue Skies” was popularized by several of JFK’s favorite performers: Benny Goodman and Bing Crosby and and Frank Sinatra. Captain Picard has the song in the opening episode and so I am listening to it today. https://youtu.be/sSy3BzWAUig
