Keep Thy Heart

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Inner custody is not optional. What is guarded within eventually gov erns what is lived without. The proverb treats the heart as source, not accessory. Discipline at this depth means tending motives, desires, and loyalties before behavior hardens downstream. Its endurance comes from architecture. Life flows outward from its interior springs.
