"Do the next thing"

Sometimes when the motivation isn't there, you just take your cue from Elisabeth Elliot:

"When I went back to my jungle station after the death of my first husband, Jim Elliot, I was faced with many confusions and uncertainties. I had a good many new roles, besides that of being a single parent and a widow. I was alone on a jungle station that Jim and I had manned together. I had to learn to do all kinds of things, which I was not trained or prepared in any way to do. It was a great help to me simply to do the next thing."

"Do the next thing."  Simple advice, but it works!
