Before we talk about guarding our gifts, we have to be honest about where we stand.
The Solomon Factor is this:
When your greatest strengths quietly begin turning into your biggest liabilities.
Solomon didn’t collapse overnight. He drifted. And drift leaves warning signs.
Below are 7 subtle indicators that responsibility may be outpacing restraint.
Take a quiet moment and assess yourself.
THE 7 WARNING SIGNS
1️⃣ Making small compromises you once would have resisted. 2 No longer listening to people who challenge you. 3 Expecting special treatment because of your position. 4 Keeping things private that you would question in someone else. 5 Surrounding yourself only with agreement6️⃣ Justifying behavior you would critique in others7️⃣ Neglecting the relationships or principles that built your foundation

- What small guardrail could you build this week?
