💭 Quote I'm Pondering

"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult." - Seneca

This quote strikes a chord with me as it underscores the power of courage and initiative in overcoming challenges. It reminds me that the perceived difficulty of our endeavors often stems from our hesitation to take bold steps, reinforcing the importance of pushing beyond our comfort zones to transform obstacles into manageable tasks.
