Question of the Day: What choice keeps resurfacing no matter how often you ignore it?

Thought of the Day: Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead! Admiral David Farragut

__________

Some thoughts arrive gently. This one doesn’t.

Today’s Thought of the Day showed up with a little urgency and no interest in being polite. It’s a line that gets quoted a lot, often for the wrong reasons, and it made me stop and think about how often we confuse waiting with wisdom.

Because sometimes waiting really is the right move. And sometimes it’s just fear wearing a calm expression.

The Question of the Day that goes with it has been sitting with me longer than I expected. It’s not a dramatic question. It doesn’t demand a big, public answer. It just asks you to notice something familiar. A decision that keeps resurfacing no matter how often you push it aside.

You probably already know what it is.

That doesn’t mean you’re ready to act on it. It doesn’t even mean you need to decide today. But there’s something powerful about admitting that a choice isn’t random, and that it hasn’t stuck around by accident.

In today’s reflection, I wrote about the difference between patience and paralysis, about the cost of unresolved decisions, and about the moment when standing still quietly becomes its own kind of risk. Not in a loud, motivational way. Just honestly.

As always, thank you for being here. For reading. For thinking. For not rushing past the questions that deserve a little more time.
