Quote of the Day – 09172025

Reflection:
We think of journeys as miles traveled, mountains crossed, oceans endured. But the most difficult distance is the one between who we are on the surface and who we are underneath. Hammarskjöld’s words cut to the truth: it takes more courage to walk into your own depths than to face any external trial.

That inward journey is endless. Every step uncovers another layer — old wounds, forgotten dreams, hidden strengths, stubborn fears. It is not a straight path but a spiral, circling back on lessons we thought we’d learned, asking us to face them again with clearer eyes.

And yet, this is the only journey that cannot be taken from us. The world may cage our bodies, strip our titles, silence our voices — but the inward road remains ours alone. To walk it is to risk disorientation, but to refuse it is to remain a stranger to ourselves.

Prompt for readers:
What part of your inward journey have you been avoiding, and what might you discover if you finally faced it?

  3. I use to avoid facing my fears on my journey until I realized “there’s nothing to fear but fear itself”, as quoted by President Franklin Roosevelt. Facing my fears made me realize I’m braver than what I thought.
