Seneca: "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult."

Why This Quote Matters

There is a particular kind of day when difficult feels more complicated than it should. On that day, a quote like this is useful to have somewhere close.

Write it down by hand somewhere. There is something different about that act. Words stick in a new way when they move through your fingers.

Not every quote is meant for every person at every moment. If this one landed, it landed for a reason.
