Hammer and Forge

Whatever good things we build end up building us.

Jim Rohn

Skyscrapers do not just happen

They must be built

From the ground 

Up

 In fact,

Everything in this life must be built

Including life itself

You have to dig deep and put in the foundation-

Family, friends, home

       You have to reach out to the community 

to give your life meaning and structure                  

and you have to  reach up to give your life support

If this all sounds like work, 

it is

But the view makes it all worth while

 

You cannot dream yourself into a character; 

you must hammer and forge yourself one.
Henry David Thoreau

Proverbs 28:6 – “Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways
