"Everyone has a foundation for life. There are basic core beliefs, principles and ideas that we build our life upon.
As an example, our country's foundation is
built upon the Constitution.
What is your life built upon?
I think that pretty much everyone wants a firm and stable foundation. A rock solid assurance that what is built will last."
Some foundations are built to be stable and long lasting.
Some foundations are not stable or long lasting.
My wife and I have lived in mobile homes for many years. They are a wonderful, inexpensive way to live, however, they are not built as strong as a turn of the century home. They are made as temporary, inexpensive housing, and therefore their foundation matches that temporary nature. The Gothic revival home in the first photo was built to last for generations. The foundation was built with longevity and permanence in mind.
In most areas of our life, we have built on good, firm foundations. Hard work is one of those foundations in life that have wonderful benefits! But like the mobile home, no matter how much work you put into it, they will start falling apart, because of the nature of a mobile home. The foundation and core of the building is made of inexpensive materials that meet a temporary need. So as we can see, even good old hard work is only beneficial if the foundation is stable.
How do you know what areas in life
have a good solid foundation?
How do you judge what foundations you should invest in, and which foundations you should stay away from?
