Passion does inhibit you from gaining power. Rather than taking a modest subdued approach you impetuously charge into things for a hope of success however you are more likely to reach your final destination if you are calm collected and enlightened.
Another beautiful excerpt! :)
Something I'm coming to realize more each day.
Persistence is the key, don't let the small defeats deter you.
Yes. Every day that I post, I feel a sense of growing accomplishment.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10
A powerful quote from Proverbs. It was my favorite book in the Bible for many years.
