SUNDAY GRAIN
A lot of people want the harvest without respecting the season. They want the strength without the struggle. The solid foundation without the digging. The wisdom without the mistakes that put it there. But you don't build anything worth a damn by skipping the hard part.
A foundation doesn't care how bad you want the house standing. The ground has to be worked. The dirt has to be moved. And some days, all you got to show for your work is a sore back and a bigger mess than you started with. Same goes for a man.
You don't become dependable by talking about what you'll do. You become dependable by doing what needs done, especially when it's hard, when it's thankless, and when nobody's around to see it. Some of the most important work you'll ever do won't look like progress while you're doing it.
But a man who knows how to build understands something an impatient man doesn't.. You don't curse the foundation because the walls ain't up yet.
Keep working. The season will come.
GRAIN OF THE WEEK
Don't mistake the dirt for failure. Sometimes the mess you're making is what makes everything else possible.
