So much time, so many resources, and so much energy is wasted trying to get accolades from people. Some try to drop the right names, get in with the right crowd, manipulate and maneuver into the right places to experience a channel of blessings. Sometimes, because we are human we get so caught up in what we think we can produce with our own power and ability that we don’t even realize we’re missing the greater blessing God’s intended for us.
Setting goals, being driven and having aspirations to achieve, isn’t a negative thing at all. But when you’re driven for the wrong reasons, with wrong motives, using wrong tactics; it becomes an unfortunate disadvantage to oneself, even if it’s for a right thing.
