Philosophically the way of the world wether it be business,relationship,or personal growth is centered around oneself. Though there is nothing wrong with dealing with internal personal issues and this is definitely wise. The approach is normally from a place of self aggrandizement. This has brought many people and nations low. Christ should be exalted and we as individuals, people groups, and nations should understand we are no greater than anyone around us. Any status attained or greatness achieved is only done by Gods allowance and direction not in our own strength or power, we have none.
