Unfortunately, in society the way you look (physical characteristics, weight, height, gender, race, etc.) can be an advantage if you have the look society deems attractive. If you don’t have the look society desires, then that can be a disadvantage in climbing the ladder of success.

The conversation ended with a prayer for financial and spiritual blessings, guidance, and supernatural growth in the year ahead.

Success culture promotes the idea of starting your own venture so you can be your own boss. Essentially, this notion encourages an escape from submission. However, this motive can be dangerous because to succeed in starting a business, ministry, or non-profit, you need to be able to submit to others.
