You'll be confident that your boss wouldn't have asked you if he/she didn't trust that you could do it. You wouldn't allow anyone or anything to distract you. No matter how hard it is, it's not an option…” quote by Yvonne Pierre](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8d9/yvonne-pierre-18417_calling_if-your-boss-asks-you-to-do-a-task-you-l_518691.jpg) [Download](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8d9/yvonne-pierre-18417_calling_if-your-boss-asks-you-to-do-a-task-you-l_518691.jpg) [Open image](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8d9/yvonne-pierre-18417_calling_if-your-boss-asks-you-to-do-a-task-you-l_518691.jpg) > ““If your boss asks you to do a task... You'll stay late for work to make sure it's done. You'll be confident that your boss wouldn't have asked you if he/she didn't trust that you could do it. You wouldn't allow anyone or anything to distract you. No matter how hard it is, it's not an option, you'll find a way to make it happen. You'll not only find time, you'll try to get it done before the deadline. So, why when God gives you a task... you allow fear to consume you, find excuses, allow distractions, care about what people think and assume it's impossible? If He gave it to you, He trusts you CAN get it done. Yes, they'll be distractions. And no it's not going to be easy, but know that it is POSSIBLE!!! Answer the call!”” [Yvonne Pierre](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/yvonne-pierre/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
