Thought of the Day: The Morning Starts the Day. The Evening Determines It.

Mornings are for momentum. A good breakfast, a few deep breaths, maybe a clear intention scribbled in the margins of your to-do list. That’s where the day begins. But let’s be honest—how it ends? That’s where the real story gets written.

It’s in the evening that we reckon with how we handled what the day threw at us. Did we carry peace into dinner? Did we leave our better self at the office or bring it home? The evening is the scoreboard, the mirror, the closing credits. Mornings start the race. Evenings tell you how you ran it.

Question of the Day: Do You Ever Wear Dirty Socks?

Here’s a question that’s both ridiculous and revealing.

Most people will laugh and say “Never!” But if we’re honest? We’ve all been there. You reach for a clean pair, only to find the laundry’s still in the dryer—or worse, still in your mind as a thing you meant to do. So you shrug, put your sneakers on, and hope no one gets a whiff.

But maybe it’s more than that. Wearing dirty socks isn’t just about hygiene. It’s a metaphor for compromise, for settling. For choosing convenience over comfort—or even self-respect.

So… do you ever wear dirty socks?

Drop your answer below and tell us the truth.
