Quote of the Day – 09012025

Posted in Quote of the DayTagged ,

Personal Reflection:
I’ve stood outside too many doors in my life, waiting for them to swing open on their own. Maybe out of fear. Maybe out of some twisted politeness that wasn’t doing me any favors. The truth is, life doesn’t hand you keys—it hands you bruised knuckles and a choice. You either knock, or you don’t.

But the trick is knowing whether to knock or not. Sometimes patience is its own key. Stillness can shatter a door better than force, if you can stomach the waiting. That’s the gamble—deciding when to strike and when to trust the silence.

One’s movements should be purposeful; they should lead to something. I’ve heard too many times, “at least I did something.” At this point, I just smile at the impatience. Not because it’s ridiculous, but because I remember when it guided me as well.

And still—the silence waits, heavier each time, as if daring me to choose.

Reflective Prompt:
Where in your life are you standing at a door, unsure if it needs your fist or your patience? What would it take for you to finally decide?
