No Sweat Equity.




"No Sweat Equity."

There are things that are simple.

And, there are things that are simply done.

Even simple solutions.

But life?

Situations?

No, never easy.

Never without sweat.

"The best things in life, are things that we work for."

Things that we sweat for.

Family.

Friends.

community.
The worth is in the doing.

Gratitude is in the learning.

Things that are true are born of

Hope,

Compassion,

Understanding,

Faith.

“Work.”

Life is not loss and gain.

Life is not safe.

Is happiness?

We build equity in our soul,

We bank on trust.

Without trust,

We are going to sweat some more.

Oh, we are going to sweat.

If trust is fleeting there is doubt somewhere.

In you?

In me?

In God?

When blessings become vanity,

The work is lost.

So, have grace in your work.

As, grace was given to you.

Sweat less.
