Insight on Today's Quote
Wisdom doesn’t rush to take the spotlight. It pauses. It listens. It considers the weight of words before they leave the mouth. In a world where everyone wants to be heard instantly, true insight often shows up in the quiet — when we take a moment to understand before responding.
Today, pay attention to the conversations around you. Notice how much of what is said is noise… and how powerful thoughtful silence can be.
Step Up To The Challenge
Choose one interaction today — at home, work, or online — and practice intentional listening. Hold back from speaking just to fill the air. When you do respond, aim to add clarity, encouragement, or truth. Let every word you speak serve a purpose.
