Then realized that the word Caesar in the first instance was meant to change that meaning. There is nothing wrong with success as long as it is directed properly. A better, or at least a clearer phrase would be our "obsession with success" instead of "Caesar of Success". Success in an of itself is not a bad thing. We all hope for success when exercising the great commission. At first I read these quotes as we should be against success?
