Welcome to The Daily Quote – a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, for July 9th. Today, we celebrate Call of the Horizon Day – a lesser-known but beautifully symbolic holiday that invites you to look forward, dream big, and embrace the possibilities that lie just beyond your line of sight. It’s not about escaping where you are; it’s about listening to that quiet voice urging you to explore, grow, and dare to wonder what else is out there. Maybe for you, the horizon is a new job, a change of scenery, or just finally cleaning out that junk drawer you've been avoiding since 2016. (Hey, every journey starts somewhere.) The point is—this day is all about movement. Not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, spiritually. What’s your next adventure? And more importantly… what’s calling you? That brings us to today’s quote from André Gide, who once said: "Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." Simple. Bold. Slightly terrifying. Gide, a French author and Nobel Prize winner, nailed what Call of the Horizon Day is all about. You can’t reach new places—internally or externally—if you're clinging to what’s safe and familiar. The shore feels comfortable. It’s where your sandals are. But the ocean... that's where the magic happens. Of course, losing sight of the shore isn’t always literal. Maybe it means stepping outside your comfort zone, trusting your instincts, or taking a leap even if the net isn’t visible yet. It might feel risky—but so is standing still when everything inside you is telling you to move. So today, listen closely to whatever your version of the horizon is. It doesn’t have to be dramatic. You don’t need to quit your job and sail around the world (unless that’s on your bucket list—then by all means, hoist the sails). It could be as simple as finally starting that project you keep “planning to plan.” Thank you for spending a few moments of your morning with me. Whatever your horizon looks like today, I hope you take one brave step toward it. Even if it’s small, it still counts.That's going to do it for today.I’m Andrew McGivern, signing off for now. But I'll be back tomorrow - same pod time, same pod station with another Daily Quote.
