Living to impress people will keep you from your destiny. That is time and energy that you need for your dreams, for your goals. Promotion is not going to come from that person you impress. Instead of impressing people, we should spend our time impressing God.
When you have a cause, you’ll believe you can accomplish what seems impossible, that you can overcome what looks insurmountable. Find your cause; fight for someone that can’t fight for themselves; get involved in something bigger than you.
There should be something we’re involved in that’s bigger than ourselves. It’s good to have personal goals and dreams, but if you’re only focused on yourself, you won’t reach your highest potential. You were created to help someone else, to lift the fallen, to be a blessing.
