If you have a lot of tasks at hand, you may find it very hard to stay focused on just one thing. Just when you get going on one item, something else comes up and you find your energy waning and your attention split into a dozen different directions.
When you function like this it can be awfully difficult to complete tasks the way you want it done and when it should be done. Learning to prioritize will help you stay on task, tending to one item before moving onto another. When you are busy and continually multi-tasking this can be a hard skill to learn, but it can be made easier through the use of prioritization affirmations.

How often have you been told that you must work on your weaknesses in order to improve yourself? That you should focus on your weaker points and bring them up to a higher standard? That by being a good, capable all-rounder you stand the best chance of achieving success in your life?
Well I disagree! For a start, focusing on your weaknesses isn’t exactly an uplifting or motivating activity is it? From a self-awareness point of view, yes, it’s important to be aware of the categories your weaknesses fall into. But the next step doesn’t automatically have to be one of focusing on them, agonising about them and working hard to correct them.

In the opening sentences of Luke’s book, we read of Zechariah who was a faithful priest in a day when there was not a lot of faithfulness around.
I wonder how many people thought, “Look at that silly old priest going away to conduct a service - and say prayers - and preach something - a message - which no-one really wants to hear.” How many people might say that of us as we meet for Worship and Prayer week by week? Ignore it - forget it - overlook it - let people say what they want. If you know you are right in the eyes of the Lord Jesus Christ, let people think and say what they like.

What is motivation?
Motivation is both the desire and willingness to do something. It’s what gets you started and keeps you going.
“Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.” Stephen R. Covey
“Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.” Napoleon Hill
Most people are motivated either by the avoidance of pain or the pursuit of pleasure. In my experience the most common motivation seems to be the avoidance of pain.

It’s summer for those of us in the US and Europe. The sun is shining. The days are longer. We feel energized. Are you enjoying the classic joys of summer?

Summer is a great time to regroup. Most of us keep different schedules for summer. We will make more trips, socialize more, and dress more casually. As a result our way of thinking loosens up a bit too, giving way to bursts of creativity and joy. Would you like to have a memorable summer as well as continue to experience personal and professional success?
