The Keys To Your Triumph
EI is more important than IQ
Philippians 2:4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

Vision is more important than goals.
Luke 19:10 “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

I knew a pastor once who would tell me about all the great things his church was doing. One day I asked him a question. Why do you do all of this stuff? He couldn't answer the question because he didn't understand the big picture. Don't get bogged down in the details so much that you miss the big picture.
PRAY: Dear Jesus, help me to care about others more than myself, help me to include the people who surround me, help me to see Your big picture and set Your goals. AMEN
