Pour your heart into it “Life is a series of near misses. But a lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It’s seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It’s seeing what other people don’t see, and pursuing that vision, no matter who tells you not to. In daily life, you get so much pressure from friends and family and colleagues, urging you to take the easy way, to follow the prevailing wisdom, that it can be difficult not to simply accept the status quo and do what’s expected of you. But when you really believe – in yourself, in your dream – you just have to do everything you possibly can to take control and make your vision a reality. No great achievement happens by luck.” By Howard Schultz, CEO & Chairman of STARBUCKS, from his book, “Pour your heart into it”. He built a multimillion dollar company from scratch. My Prayer, “O Lord, the pressure to adjust our lives to fit other people’s expectations can be overwhelming; The Battle to remain true to a calling demands choice and grace; The noise of confusion seeks to outclass the quiet of wisdom; Please grant us grace to keep saying, “I was obedient to the Heavenly vision, so judge in yourself, shouldn’t we obey God, rather than men?” Help us to be persistent, and pour our hearts and money into your assignment for this generation in Jesus name…Amen.”
