"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Matthew 6:24

I am not a Christian, but I think this is a wise passage. When we are at a crossroad, we usually must pick where our true priorities lie. The choice between the road of personal development and the road of accomplishing more "worldly" goals is something I think most can relate too.
