Today is May 6th, and welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, thank you for the five star ratings! Two people rated the show and gave it five stars. Thank you very much for that!. On this day, we celebrate National Beverage Day. It’s a day to sit back, relax, and sip your favorite drink. Whether it’s a morning cup of coffee, a refreshing afternoon iced tea, a craft beer or perhaps a smoothie, today is your excuse to indulge a little and enjoy your beverages guilt-free. And speaking of indulging, let’s mix in a little wisdom with our drink of choice. Today’s quote is by the legendary author, F. Scott Fitzgerald, who said,
“First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, and then the drink takes you.”
This quote isn’t just a comment on the slippery slope of enjoying a good beverage; it’s a playful nod to how habits, good or bad, start small and can become a part of us if we’re not mindful. So, as we celebrate National Beverage Day, let’s think about what else we allow to ‘take a drink’ in our lives. It could be our hobbies, our work, or even the people around us. Each has the potential to enrich our lives or, if we’re not careful, take over a bit more than we’d like. So, here’s a toast to balancing our indulgences and ensuring that the things we enjoy enhance our lives rather than control them.
Cheers to you and your choice of beverage today, and remember: sip responsibly, think wisely, and enjoy fully. That’s all for today’s episode of The Daily Quote. I hope this stirred up some thoughts for you as much as it did for me.
And thanks again to the two of you that gave the show a five star rating and remember... you too can rate the show and give us a written review. I'd love to read it.
Thank you for joining me, and I’ll see you tomorrow for another sip of wisdom. Have a fantastic day!
