"Rest if you must, but don't you quit."

This timeless piece by John Greenleaf Whittier reminds us that perseverance is the key to success, even when the journey feels impossible. When the weight of the world feels heavy, remember that every step forward, no matter how small, brings you closer to the breakthrough you seek.

Success often hides just beyond the clouds of doubt. Hold on, keep pushing, and trust in your strength.

May we choose peace, understanding, and compassion in our actions today and every day. 🌍💛

Khalil Gibran on Fear

It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles with fear.

She looks back at the path she has traveled,
from the peaks of the mountains,
the long winding road crossing forests and villages.

And in front of her,
she sees an ocean so vast,
that to enter
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.

But there is no other way.
The river can not go back.

Nobody can go back.
To go back is impossible in existence.

The river needs to take the risk
of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that’s where the river will know
it’s not about disappearing into the ocean,
but of becoming the ocean.

~ Khalil Gibran
