Drive

ByThe Dude
“Pray as if everything depends on God; work as if everything depends on you.”
~ St. Ignatius of Loyola ~

Yesterday we talked about dreams — the map, the picture in your head of where you’re headed. But a dream without drive is just a nice thought. You can hand the outcome over to something bigger than you, and still show up every single day and put in the work. That’s not a contradiction. That’s the whole deal.

Higher power gets you the faith. You still gotta bring the drive.

Pray for the willingness to drive forward.
