Solid Foundation

​About every two weeks, I get my nails done.  I’m a big fan of the dip powder which when it is applied, it has a hard base like acrylic.  With that, I like wearing them a little long which makes my real nail prone to splitting because of the pressure I constantly put on my nails.  ‘Even though I put something on the split to hold my nail together before applying the dip powder, after a week, the nail will break on top.  Every time this will happen no matter what was corrected on my real nail. 
How I see this is that if the foundation of something isn’t stable or broken, no matter how much you try to fix it, eventually whatever you cover it up with will break as well.  No matter what you go through in life, just know that you need a solid foundation to build anything on.  You may can cover it up and put glitter on top but after the wear and tear, the glitter will start to fall through the cracks.  Instead of doing quick fixes, invest in complete makeovers over your life to have a lasting result in whatever you do.  Don’t continue to fill up potholes, to have to keep filling every 6 months.  Just redo your whole street.
