The world says whatever you’re doing is fine…just follow your heart…
Follow your passion…
If you’re not happy find new experiences …
How many failed marriages …
How many lost careers…
How many perfect situations
And arrangements
With no accountability?
Before we understand a truth…
——
You must lead …
Lead your heart…
Take on responsibility
Forge ahead…
Take courage and be bold…
Set your face like flint and face your future and your life and hold fast…
Because the storms are coming …
The water is rising …
But you go and lead…
Plant your harvest and do the work…
——
There’s short cuts coming …
Just slow down …
Just have some drinks…
Just splurge a little …
——
Whatever you’re building …
There’s going to be a shortcut appear …
Run from these …
Short cuts have harsh consequences …
They result in addictions
And poor health …
Lost connections
Lost trust
Poor habits…
They don’t create the follow through
The track record of faith
And experience you’re looking and working for …
——
Do the work …
Lead your heart and your family …
Keep building …
It’s worth it in the end.
It’s worth it in the end.
