Dusk or Dawn?

There’s a moment that anyone chasing an ambitious (or maybe just crazy) goal eventually faces. It’s the moment when, no matter which direction you run, the solutions stay the same distance away.

Everything stands still. And when you gaze toward the horizon, you can’t tell whether that faint light means the night is deepening—or if the first signs of dawn are finally breaking.

Lately, I’ve often found myself asking: “Is this dusk or dawn?” Is it time to let go, or to give it one final push?

There’s no shame in letting go.

In fact, knowing when to let go is a rare skill—one I truly admire in those who can look at what’s happening in their lives with a bit of detachment. But when what you do is part of who you are, when it’s tied to your identity, walking away becomes much harder.
