Sunday dinners with Stellar-Steve always provide great conversation, and tonight the topic was a healthy relationship.
I forgot the patience required with a budding love. It seems time is a necessary evil as emotions unfold and a foundation is built - while moral purity is the requirement to ensure clear vision, free from unnecessary confusion and premature emotions. Despite what society would have us believe, the path of ease leads to pseudo love, while that of patience and discipline leads to an abiding, healthy relationship. There are simply no shortcuts.
TODAY'S FOCUS: There are no shortcuts on any path worth traveling. How could there be? It goes against all the laws of the universe. All things in nature require time and order to reach their full measure of creation and, likewise, so do the most beautiful things in life.
There's no quick fix to a healthy body, no easy road to lasting wealth, and no shortcut to a happy marriage. It's apparent that anything worth having comes at a price, and the greater the price the greater the reward. What may appear as shortcuts along the way are, in fact, dead-ends leading to mediocrity, robbing you of the foundation you could have built. Though a shortcut may appear to work, eventually the transient foundation will crumble, leaving you discontent and unfulfilled.
