Reflection on Today's Quote
Fear is a strange doorman. It stands right in front of the thing you’ve been chasing, arms crossed, daring you to try. Most people turn back because the shadow looks bigger than the door behind it. But here’s the thing—fear is terrible at its job. The moment you step forward, it shrinks. The lock was never real.
The life you keep imagining? The career move, the conversation you’ve been avoiding, the version of you that doesn’t second-guess every step—that’s all there, waiting. Fear just makes the entrance look impossible so you won’t even try. But if you push through, even clumsily, you’ll find yourself standing in a place that was always yours.
And you’ll wonder why you let a ghost keep you outside for so long.
