Image
Welcome back, RTH fam — where motivation meets sarcasm, and wisdom wears a hoodie. Quote of the day by RTH Today’s quote is from none other than Abraham Lincoln — the guy who rocked a beard before it was cool, freed slaves, led a nation through a civil war, and still had time to drop truth bombs like this: “The best way to predict your future is to create it.” Read that again. Slowly. Let it marinate like Sunday chicken curry. Now let’s explore what this quote really means for people like us — dreamers, doers, procrastinators, and everyone else stuck between ambition and overthinking. 🌱 Manifestation vs. Creation: There’s a Difference, Bro Manifestation is sitting on your couch visualizing a Ferrari.
