Proverbs 16:32 ESV

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty,

and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

In this verse, God stressed the value of self control - slow to anger and rule one's spirit - above power & success. We all want to act mightily, to show our power and our spirit, to show our passion. We all want to conquer & to success. But to God, they are all less than self-control. So beside imaging mighty acts & great success, we should imagine us exercising self control - slow to anger & rule our spirit.
