This reads like someone who has english as their second language. I say this because an American would translate this more poetically, instead this phrase is coarse with barely a figurative expression.

"Those who focus on the footprints in their wake, lose the opportunity to take flight". That would be a better version of this quote.

This "English native speaker" = "American" stuff from Americans is so annoying. You are not the only native speakers of English.
