Fire doesn’t create steel.
It reveals more of
what steel can be made to become.
Every worthwhile life passes through a forge.
Pressure.
Heat.
Correction.
Perseverance.
No blacksmith apologizes for the fire.
He knows what the fire accomplishes.
THE INVITATION
Character is forged the same way.
Every challenge asks us a question.
Will this make me bitter…
or better?
Will I become harder…
or stronger?
WORTHY NOTE
Comfort seldom produces greatness.
Purpose usually asks for perseverance.
PUT LEGS ON IT
Finish the difficult task.
Keep your word.
Arrive on time.
Protect someone weaker.
Teach someone younger.
Serve without expecting applause.
These are the sparks that build character.
RICHIE’S OBSERVATION
The strongest men I have ever known carried both strength and gentleness in the same hands.
THE DISCOVERY
A man’s greatest victories are often invisible.
They are won within.
FINAL THOUGHT
Character is not manufactured.
It is forged. What is inside
must come outside and the
trials of life will make you stronger
not wronger, as long as you don’t resent the lessons presented
