HEARD OF THE GOLDEN GOOSE?

Imagine you have a golden goose that lays golden eggs. What's more important? The golden eggs or the golden goose?

If you don't look after the goose, what happens to the eggs?

You can use Coaching tools to help determine which of your Life Priorities are golden eggs, and which priorities nurture the goose so it can keep giving you golden eggs.

Psalm 37:3 NLT

The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.
