The tortoise and the hare is a story of long term goals vs. short term gratification. I remember the first time I heard the phrase "delayed gratification."
When our life is based on what is easy, what comes quick and what works for me now, we can end up making decisions that are very detrimental in the long haul. If a two year old gets everything that they want, whoa - watch out for the adult that they will become.
Nothing in life is easy or free. Great moments come from hard work. Work first, play second. The hare ran ahead and then took a nap. He stopped along the road to play. The tortoise just kept going. Hour after hour, day after day, he pursued his goal and came out on top.
How will my actions today effect the outcomes of tomorrow?
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
