April 16th

“Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.”

• Heraclitus

We all want the results of someone who put in their 10,000 hours in a week.

In today’s society, impatience is abundant and fortitude is scarce.

Instant gratification is at an all time high. 

But that is an opportunity for those who can delay their desires for the bigger picture. 

Building character is a lifelong process. 

The small actions we take daily will construct that character, whether we like it or not.

So we can either choose those actions and be disciplined in carrying them out or we can let life dictate what our character becomes. 

I can assure you that if you leave it up to “fate”, you won’t be too thrilled with your results. 

Decide.
