Where is a person of character when you need one?
A whole and healthy life -- a life of character -- is cultivated on
the inside. It has little to do with outward appearances, or even
reputations. It's an inside job!
It is groomed from within. It grows from seeds of good decisions.
Like always choosing to do the right thing, even when you're alone. Or
standing up for what is good and decent, even if you run the risk of
criticism.
A life of character is sometimes difficult to grow. But what else can
you accomplish as worthwhile?
There is no work you'll ever complete;
no project you'll ever attempt;
no skill you'll ever master;
no book you'll ever write;
no race you'll ever run;
no sculpture you'll ever create;
no task you'll ever perform;
no structure you'll ever build;
nothing you'll ever do --
more important than the life you shape one day at a time.
Nurture your life on the inside and you'll never be disappointed with
the fruit it bears.
