Let's make sure this is not a someday wish. Like life we should strive to let it be said "Well Done , good and faithful servant, you have been faithful in your Sunday activities, you did the basics, you made it to the church service, you greated friends and met strangers and introduced yourself to many of them. You payed attention to the announcements, you entered into worship, sang, listened, internalize the meaning of the poetry arranged to music and you worshiped like David. Maybe you kept your clothes on, but you certainly took your coat off. You left your hat at the cloak room with your coat. You gave your tithes, and you checked the math beforehand and worked that in your budget so it was part of your life, your Economic Domain with God in the centre of that part of your live. You listened and took notes as the pastors shared his message and you let the spirit challenge you as the message was received. You went to the alter to pray and pray for others. You got past your shyness and laid hands and prayed for those you are called to pray for. Let the Holy Spirit guide you, and you prayed for others by putting a hand on their shoulders and you raised the other in praise to the Lord, like you do in worship as you are worshiping, you speak encouraging words over your brother and you speak with the tongues of the angel as God knows what is required, May His will be done in your brothers life. You raise your hands in your worship times during the service and you sing praises to the Lord 🎶 You prayed for your wife and laid hands on her while you prayed and like wise for you child you carried him in your arms while you still can. He soon will be to big and will stand on his own. You linger after alter time and great brothers and sisters, you shake their hands, encourage them with a smile and a good word. When you get a chance you thank the pastor for his good word, encourage him and likewise for the worship team members that you meet.
Make your way home after the service and enjoy the rest of the day with your family.
Later you listen to the pastors message to reinforce his message. We have those records online this day.
Do some extra Bible reading and other good books , embrace the rest , the pause of the Sunday. Well Done beginnings for a Sunday.
Listen to Jim Rohn's message, full of encouragement, advise on how to be enough, time to do, to act, to become, make your life a good story, a story of legacy. You absolutely control your life's depth, make it your legacy, make it count.

Admired Leadership Field Notes <admiredleadership@substack.com>
Motivation largely lives inside the individual.
Leaders can’t force someone to care or increase their inner drive.
Thankfully, high-performing team members arrive armed with a healthy dose of self-motivation. They bring ambition, pride, and a commitment to excellence, no matter where they work or who they work with.
But self-motivation won’t sustain itself unless leaders create the conditions for it to grow.
Great leaders don’t inject more motivation. Instead, they amplify what already exists.
Of the many assets available to leaders for priming motivation and keeping the fire burning hot, recognition stands out. People run more on recognition than leaders generally admit.
At the core, people want to know and feel three things: I am special, I matter, and I belong. Recognition is how leaders confirm all three.
Recognition endorses, sends signals, and gives meaning. Because people learn who they are from how others respond to them, recognition plays a central role in stabilizing a healthy, highly motivated identity.
Sadly, far too many leaders think praise is the most effective form of recognition.
As a result, they recognize people primarily through the positive evaluation of past events. It makes sense. Praise rarely offends, takes little effort, always sounds supportive, and requires little thought. “Great job!”
Unfortunately, praise avoids any complexity with the work product, preserves hierarchy by flowing top-down, and often creates a dependency for receiving more of it for those with low self-esteem.
Worst of all, it shifts the meaning of work to a focus on the approval of work. The best leaders do better.
When leaders focus their remarks on impact, improvement, trust, progress, and experience, they move from praise to higher and more motivating forms of recognition.
Acknowledgement, validation, appreciation, affirmation, and attribution all fit this bill. All require the leader to move from being an evaluator to being a witness.
Recognition in its highest form is about observation.
The best recognition is about seeing: “I’ve noticed how much time you put into this,” “That decision took courage,” “What you did mattered because it made the team open up,” “You are becoming one of the team’s mentors,” “You have proven you can handle this.”
It makes an observation about who people are and who they are becoming, as opposed to what they did. The best leaders go beyond evaluation and use their observations to affect identity, trust, and belonging.
When leaders praise, they tell people they are being positively evaluated. When leaders fully recognize, they tell people they are seen and understood.
Whereas praise typically ends a conversation, recognition often starts one.
Recognition calms the nervous system, reduces self-doubt, and makes people feel safe. No wonder team members find that their inner fire increases on teams where the leader offers recognition beyond simple praise.
Maybe it’s time to up your game. When recognition, not just praise, is common in the workplace, team members find the intrinsic motivation to work harder and to produce superior results.
We’ve noticed you’re paying close attention to this idea.

** Earn More by Becoming More
------------------------------------------------------------
Those who do only what they are paid to do leave themselves little ground for asking for more. Compensation grows in proportion to value, not entitlement. When effort never exceeds expectation, reward has no reason to expand.
There are two common mindsets at work in every organization. One waits to be paid more before giving more. The other chooses excellence first, understanding that consistent, exceptional effort builds both skill and reputation. This second individual contributes more, learns more, and becomes indispensable—not because of demands, but because of results. Success always asks for sacrifice, and only a few are willing to make it. Be among the few.
** “If you do not see great riches in your imagination, you will never see them in your bank balance.”
—Napoleon Hill
