Understanding the Purpose of the Pitstop

Are you feeling tired of success? Chances are, you do not have a pitstop where you reenergize and rejuvenate. You also could be trying to multitask, ending up serving more than one master. In this episode, we will be looking at the purpose of a Pitstop and how it helps us from getting distracted.

Do you remember the two sisters of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha? When Jesus came to their house, Mary sat at the feet of Jesus while Martha was busy handling chores. Martha came to Jesus complaining that her sister was not helping her out. Jesus said to her,” You are worried and upset about many things. But few things are needed, or indeed only one. Mary has chosen, what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”

In our lives, we find ourselves distracted by the many things we do, and we find that we are not focused on our purpose. We have welcomed multitasking in our lives; thus, we hardly concentrate on one thing at a time. We do not know where to draw the line between urgent and important.

Today we will look at the essence of bringing our fully aligned selves to battle since it is one of our greatest weapons. We will also look at the reasons why we need to have pitstops.
