HOW TO ACCOMPLISH ALL YOUR GOALS.
What are your goals this year? Let's back up. What were your goals last year? Did you accomplish everything you wanted to? do you even remember what they were? yeah, me neither.
Why do we get so consumed with goals at the new year and justify our way (and our weight) out of them by Easter?
The problem is with the goals we are setting and where they come from. It is natural to want the best for ourselves, but we always somehow think we know what the best is for our lives. This is naive at best. It is natural to indulge with the comfortable nature that rises in the face of adversity. We do not always remain effervescent in our attempts to change, grow, and develop some desires in our hearts.
So exactly how do we accomplish the goals we set for ourselves? How do we break the cycle of naming a goal, trying for two months, and faulting out well before the goal is accomplished. How do we know what the best is for our own lives?
Try a different approach to setting your goals. For starters, really think about what your goals should be. Pray about them. Be realistic, but challenge yourself to truly grow because of them. Allow God to put some goals in your life, that as you grow in your faith and begin to take steps of faith you would have not taken before. Having a deeper purpose will perhaps push you to go above and beyond. Mediocre goals will bring about mediocre results. So I say go big! Go all out! If you are unfamiliar with the term adiaphorous, it means to do neither good nor harm. Do not settle for goals that really do not make a difference in anything in life.
This is year our goals are not sedated. This is year we awake from the depths of goals abjured! This is the year we live and live to fullest! This is the year our souls remain unquenched until the day we say our goals are fully accomplished. This is the year! This is the time!
