Yes you can motivate YOURSELF to do things BUT YOU are the one doing it not some god/jebus creature. To say so is denial and delusional.
Don't bother praying..and yes a male CAN multi task (as long as it is no more than three tasks at a time??) So
I would say that :-
1. If you have a sinking boat ...prayer will NOT plug the hole
2. Sorry Lois ...you ARE talking to yourself not god...delusion can do that to you ya know
3. religion is just a crutch for those who cannot stand up to the unkown without help...nothing more.
This is the reality and I am still discovering it...
