Last Quarter of the Year
Tomorrow marks the first day and final quarter of 2021. It is a perfect time for one last attempt at completing those goals and tasks you may not have had an opportunity to tackle this year.
Think Big by Focusing on Less
Setting goals and having plans for the future is a well-known secret that can help keep you on track with your relationships, bank account, health, job, and family life.
At the same time, having too much on your plate can create unwanted stress in the areas you may be trying to improve, seemingly derailing your efforts.
The 55 Maxims by Fr. Thomas Hopko (+2015)

Hopko discussing the maxims with explanations for each (transcript of the podcast also provided for those who prefer), you can visit the Ancient Faith Ministries link here.
Words of wisdom
“I never try to do too many things at the same time. Let’s say that I am thinking of doing something. I will have to finish it before I start thinking of doing something else. When I cannot finish what I started, I feel uneasy. Too many things going on at the same time can drive us crazy.” Saint Paisios
