Be Motivated Today
Some good friends in South Africa (whom I’ve never met in person) have been telling me about a business venture that is paying off well for them. However, it was limited to people in their country until just recently. Joy sent me the link right away to check out.
Unfortunately, I’m still always somewhat behind in dealing with incoming emails. But I got a look at it last week, and late Sunday night explored the site some more. They have a free trial period so that people can check it out, and it looks like this is a sensible plan that will work out well for many friends.
The essence of it centers around motivational material that is sent out on a daily basis. I normally see that kind of stuff with caution, for I notice that many people look to such things instead of putting their faith and confidence in God, where I personally like to place my priorities. I like to be consistent with my theology.
However, the founder seems to have a Christian background, and most of the stuff can be helpful. I do agree that we need to set goals and discipline ourselves, and that our attitudes will make a world of a difference as to what we can accomplish.
So, with the precaution not to check your mind and heart at the door when you read “motivational” pep-talks I recommend that you check it out. See if it makes sense to you. Be Motivated Today
Another thing. Would you participate in a little quick survey?
Here at the mission we’ve had a debate this morning about whether it is better in printed materials like our newsletter, to refer readers to the website with;
a.) a link to the site and a description of what link to click on
b.) a complete url link for them to type in to get directly to that page.
Now, you are reading this on your computer. So you may be used to links in an email that you click which take you directly to the page you should go to. But if you were reading in a magazine or printed document and found a reference to a website, which would you prefer?
a.) a description of how to find the link on the home page to get there ie. WesternTractMission.org and look for the link to the new calendar for 2011.
or -
b.) the full URL like this; WesternTractMission.org/Signs/order-Faithfulness-Calendar.shtml
To participate in this survey, either register so you can leave a comment, or go to my contact form and put A, or put B, into the comment area.
If you have other thoughts and opinions to contribute, just write what you think on this topic. (Right now Joe is holding up the printing of the last pages of Reflections because of this. I have my opinion and he has his. I’m really curious to know which is best).
