It is good to have ambitions and dreams, but don’t let your ambitions destroy your relationships. Your desire for success should not be higher than your love and respect for the people around you. Moderation and self-control are better than personal success. Do your part in life and then leave the results in God’s hands. You cannot control everything. Your responsibility is just to do your best.
Calloused climbers betray their very own friends;
they’d stab their own grandmothers in the back.
30 A shifty eye betrays an evil intention;
a clenched jaw signals trouble ahead.
31 Gray hair is a mark of distinction,
the award for a God-loyal life.
32 Moderation is better than muscle,
self-control better than political power.
33 Make your motions and cast your votes,
but God has the final say.
(Prov.16:29-33 MSG)
Prayer: Thank You, God, for the dreams and vision You gave me. Help me to work toward them, not forgetting the people around me. Help me to live a balanced life, to have goals of growth but also to enjoy life like it is right now. Help me to be passionate but to have patience too. Help me to face life challenges but to have rest and joy too. My God, my shepherd, my comfort, guide my steps.
