Here's a reminder from an everyday event.
Yesterday I drank fresh orange juice with my lunch. The juice was fresh because I had picked the oranges from trees growing in our yard just minutes before.
Those orange trees are there because we planted them when we bought the house 24 years ago.
And that's the point.
I was able to enjoy fresh orange juice because I had invested the effort to plant trees.
The same principle applies to everything in our lives.
If you want to have something worthwhile in the future, you must invest in it now.
This includes wealth (e.g., saving money), success (e.g., working hard), and relationships (e.g., being respectful).
So, look ahead. And imagine what you want to have in the future. Then go to work preparing for it.
You see, 24 years ago I didn't buy orange trees. I bought orange juice.
Key Point: Small investments grow into lasting benefits.
Much success,
