Think, Laugh, Cry #31

We all say “sit tight and be right”...until the ground shifts beneath us. When does patience become paralysis? And how do you feel the turn before it arrives?

THINK

“Sit tight and be right.”

“Stability breeds complacency.”

Two phrases that pull against each other like the ends of a rope. Between them lies every decision that defines a person’s life. When to hold steady, when to act, and when to admit that what once felt safe has quietly become a trap.

Most of us live for long stretches inside that tension without naming it, going through routines that feel stable while something in us quietly wonders if we have already stayed too long. How many of your own turning points lived in that space, disguised as ordinary days that only later revealed themselves as crossroads?
