Cultivate something that takes time. Something you can’t produce quickly. Something that money can’t buy. Something that takes ongoing effort.

Because our sweat — and sometimes our tears — produces a deep, abiding satisfaction.

What you accomplish may be impressive to others. At the same time, however — because of your personal investment — impressing others won’t be of concern to you.

Your long journey might not seem meaningful from the start, but it’s sure to become meaningful along the way.
