It's just a saying on a Starbucks cup . . . but it did me good, so I thought I'd share.

Pleased (though shocked) to see that on a Starbucks cup.

Did it attribute the quotation?

There may be an attribution cut off at the bottom. It wasn't actually my cup -- I found the picture on Facebook!

Oh... that must be from the campaign in... 2008, maybe? I thought they'd brought it back.

That is an awesome cup! And I agree - very surprising to find it on Starbucks.

I can't believe Starbucks approved that either.

"Focusing on yourself will never reveal your purpose." I needed to see that. Thank you.

That's the exact same line that I needed to see!

What?! A religious note on a secular coffee cup! I AM OFFENDED!

hee! I wonder if they actually ran into that sort of thing - honestly people, a positive sentiment is a positive sentiment! Something like this, which makes people think, and in a positive manner, can never be a bad thing!

I would be surprised if they didn't have at least a few complaints. Some of the hard-core atheists are offended if you even say "Merry Christmas" or "God bless you" to them!

good lord - offense fully intended. I've somehow - I think it's not completely uncommon - fallen into shortening it to 'bless you' and I wonder sometimes that people don't take offense at my offering to bless them under my own authority...

Mwahaha! I know, right? Some people just want to be offended. You can't win with folks like that.

Heh. You could try putting on a pope's hat when you say it, and see how that goes over. :-)

I think I'd rather trace a cross in the air with a lemon. I will gain a reputation for being an eccentric faith healer and live in an inoperative plane's cockpit dressed in a captain's uniform adorned with excessive gold braid. :-)
