No Shortcuts

Many of you may not know already, but Teressa and I have been going through the Dave Ramsey 'Total Money Makeover'. We have a strong conviction to be wise stewards of our money and to leave an inheritance for our children's children.

One thing that I've really noticed while reading books on other people's success and failure is that there is no shortcut to becoming prosperous in any area. Not finacially, physically, relationally, or spiritually. Our lives are the make up of our habits and habits take time to form. Habits, once they are formed, needs to be continually repeated to augment its results.

There is no get rich quick plan, they only perputuate poverty. Quick weight loss plans are only someone else's get rich quick plan (making money off you), the weight will be waiting to return. The honeymoon will end on every relationship, and a quick trip to the pulpit will only set you and others up for embarrasment when the light shines on your character.

Little by little brings massive growth. Don't try to build quickly, learn to build habitually.
