Welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I’m your host, Andrew McGivern, and today is September 5th.
Let’s get started.
Today is National Cheese Pizza Day! Yes, that’s right—an entire day dedicated to celebrating the simple, cheesy masterpiece we all know and love. No friendship ending pineapple debates, no pepperoni wars, just classic, straight-to-the-point cheese pizza. Sometimes, the simplest things are the best, and I can’t think of a better example than a hot slice of cheesy pizza. So if you needed an excuse to order one today, you’ve got it.
Now, to go along with today’s cheesy celebration, here’s today’s quote from Theodore Roosevelt, who once said....
"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
This quote, from one of America’s most determined presidents, has a lot to do with embracing simplicity and making the most of what’s in front of you—just like cheese pizza. You don’t need a mountain of fancy toppings to make a great pizza, and you don’t need perfect conditions or all the resources in the world to make a difference in your life.
Sometimes, you just have to work with what you’ve got. Think about it: Roosevelt’s advice isn’t about waiting for the stars to align. It’s about taking action—using whatever is available to you, right here and right now. Life doesn’t have to be complicated to be satisfying, and neither does your pizza.
A simple cheese pizza is proof that you can take a few basic ingredients and create something amazing. In the same way, you don’t need to wait for the “perfect” moment to start something.
Whether you’re working on a personal project, facing a tough situation, or just trying to improve your day, use what you have at hand. Sure, life might throw a few anchovies your way, but you’ve got the basics to make something great out of it.
So, on this National Cheese Pizza Day, maybe take a page from Roosevelt's book. Don't overthink it—just do what you can with what you have. And hey, if all you have today is cheese pizza, then you're already off to a pretty good start.
That’s all for today! Thanks for tuning in to The Daily Quote. I hope you find some inspiration in the simplicity of today’s message—and in that slice of pizza. I’ll see you tomorrow, and until then, remember to keep things simple, just like a great cheese pizza.
And I'll see you tomorrow for another Daily Quote.
