1 Corinthians 3:10 · World English Bible
According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.
A person does not begin from nothing. Someone laid the groundwork first, dug the footings, suffered to establish what would bear weight, and then handed the site over.

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY
A person does not begin from nothing. Someone laid the groundwork first, dug the footings, suffered to establish what would bear weight, and then handed the site over. The wise builder knows this, works with care, and treats the inheritance as a trust rather than a possession to squander.
What you raise on that base is watched, and not by other people. Careless work stands until the storm, and then it does not. The warning turns on a single word: heed. Attend to how you build, because the structure you throw up in haste becomes the house you are forced to live in.
Clinical Psychology lens
Whose footings am I building on, and what am I leaving for whoever comes after me?
