By focusing only on obvious success and overlooking process that included apparent failure we succumb to an unrealistic expectation that we are supposed to succeed without setback.

Perhaps then destination is not as important as journey.

I pray to retain my childhood wonder so that I can recognize and revel in small miracles of each day that others may miss.

I pray for an infinite supply of self-confidence for it alone fortifies faith, strengthens my resolve and conquers largest enemy I will ever face - fear.

I pray for a compassionate spirit and patience to offer those who seek my advice and my help, my full and undivided attention.

I pray for good health and a feeling of well being, and continued desire to improve those areas of my physical life I may be neglecting in name of my spiritual and entrepreneurial advancement.

I pray that today is a day of excellence and at its conclusion I can acknowledge and be grateful for forward motion I have made and growth I have experienced.

I pray most of all for understanding and support of those closest to my heart, my family, that they will equate what may seem like endless hours of apparent pre-occupation with affairs of business to what is at very core of my being, that which drives me, for once I achieve what I have set out in its fullest, I will become that more complete being I strive to be.

It is for these things that I pray, for I am an entrepreneur.
