T4tD: Goals are good . . .

for these [goals] are the signposts that define your path.

A few weeks back we shared words on pursuing our dreams (those things we'd love to achieve) and we followed that up with some words on leveraging strategy (our plans), which brings us to our goals.

And sadly, most don't have any goals . . . because they forget to define them as they set their plans for moving forward.

It is a critical part of every plan for success. They are the mileposts that highlight your progress toward you overall success desired.

For example: My hope (desire/wish/prayer) is for my wife and I to have our extended family and friends become growing Christians (as we are trying to be, so that we all will be in heaven some day). Now my plans to help achieve that must have a goals for all of them to accept Christ as their Savior. And I know we can't force anyone to be a Christian so that is my challenge to do things that help them to decide as they wish, to help where I can.

And remember . . .

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans. Proverbs 16:3
