“I simply do not build a new character so long as I place dependence upon other people ahead of dependence on God.”

A friend of mine shared that with me several months back, and I parked it in the back of my mind as a consistent reminder. It’s an entirely appropriate truth to meditate on as I embark on building new character in the new year.

I think my friend quoted this from something else, and may or may not have edited it along the way. In any event, apologies for not fully and appropriately citing it. Regardless of author, it rings true. Watch where you place your faith. If you’re like me, you will misplace it from time to time. I’m starting 2012 with the right frame of mind. Let’s see if I can maintain it!
