Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. (Proverbs 19:21 NIV)
You’re standing at a crossroads. You may have success in your past, but now it’s time for growth and change. You may have limitations and failures in the past, but now it’s time to create a new future with wider horizons. It’s time to set some new goals.
Here are some key questions to ask yourself as you think about your goals….What is it that I really want to achieve? Don’t limit yourself to what you think you can do or ask how it will be done. Dare to dream beyond self-imposed limitations. Seek your true heart’s desire first. Then decide how to reach that goal later.
What do I need to stop doing so that I can start doing what I want to do? Learn to say no to what you don’t want. Give yourself permission to say yes to what you do want.
What commitment am I willing to make? Change always takes more time than you think it will. If you start asking how long it will take, you’re asking the wrong question. It is easy to underestimate what it takes to reach your goal. Choose a goal that is worthwhile and vitally important to you, and you’ll be able to make a full commitment to that goal.
Pray and ask God to be with you in the process of dreaming, planning, and working toward your goals. He wants to be your partner, helping you and guiding you throughout the entire process.
