Putting your best foot forward is another way of saying 'try your hardest to do your best'.

Why?

Well, why not!   
try your hardestThink about whatever you are doing, school work, jobs at home, sport, learning to play an instrument etc. If you are doing it anyway why not try your best?
If you are not trying to do your best then, whose time are you wasting?
YOURS!
We all have different talents and abilities. There are very few of us who can excel in everything we do. But we can all take pride and satisfaction in knowing that we have done our best.
It's a great 'feel good' feeling!
Who would you rather have in your sports team, your friendship group, your project group or even in your family? Someone who 'can't be bothered' or someone who you can rely on to try their very hardest to carry out whatever task they have been asked to do?
well done!!

All people like to feel good about themselves.
It's good when others say "Well done", but even better when you can say that to yourself and know that you did your best.
"He's an overnight success."
"She's an instant star."
If that's what you are waiting for,
then you won't get very far.
Behind each truly famous person
lies work, for years not hours.
They've worked towards their goals
through thorns as well as flowers.
And every time they failed
they got up and tried once more,
or set a different course                 
to reach that distant shore.
So work out what your goals are,
plan the steps you need to take, 
feel proud of your achievements,
sacrifices that you make.
We cannot all be famous,
more successful than the rest.
But, we all can feel the joy
of having done our best.

work towards your goals





I'm nervous but I'll try my best

The Christian Pareto Principle by OPTIMIST IBK

THE CHRISTIAN PARETO PRINCIPLE by Optimist IBK Text: Ps 90:12 So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to wisdom. Any studious management or economy student must have heard of the Pareto principle. Which was discovered and promulgated by the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto in 1906. The principle highlights the 80/20 rule which states that it is only 20% of the activities you engage in, that will give you 80% of the results you will get in life. While 80% of your activities you engage in gives you the remaining 20% result. It also states that it is only 20% of your customers that produce 80% of your corporate revenue while the remaining 20% gives you 80% of your revenue. The principle can be applied in every area of your life especially in the area of time management. How do you cope with trying to handle different “important” things daily and still have time for God? You have to work/go to school, at the same time you have to be in church most evenings and

8 Ways Couples Can Be Unfaithful Without Realizing It.

Image
I recently talked to an old friend whose marriage is in crisis. His wife has been having an ongoing affair with her personal trainer at the gym. The aftermath of the affair is ripping their family apart. What she naively assumed would just be a “harmless fling” is now having immeasurably devastating consequences for her marriage and their children. Infidelity destroys marriages. I see it every day. Typically, when we’re talking about “infidelity,” we’re referring only to a sexual affair. While sexual affairs might be the most destructive form of infidelity, there are many other ways people can be unfaithful in marriage. Smaller acts of “infidelity” often lead to a sexual affair. We need to safeguard our marriages from infidelity in ALL its forms. The literal definition of infidelity is simply broken trust or broken loyalty. If you want to protect your marriage from all forms of infidelity, please avoid the following behaviors. Preventing all nine of these acts of broken loyalty an

Stop Seeking For The Approval Of Men

Image
Galatians 1:10 ESV For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. Do you live under a burden of guilt and condemnation…feeling unrighteous, unworthy, and insecure? Are you a people-pleaser, always looking for the approval of others? If the answer to any of these is yes, then God wants to help you move beyond those feelings, Why? Because they not only affect your personal relationships, but also your prayer life and your ability to be promoted. And I can tell you from personal experience, they certainly steal your joy and your peace—and that is not God's will for you or anyone else. I believe there are two states that can cause us to desire the approval of people: being emotionally wounded and being caught in a pit of self-pity. Wounds that won’t heal Because I grew up in an environment of sexual and verbal abuse, I thought I was wounded beyond healing. W
