Goal Setting


For every mile on the highway, there is a mile marker. These help to determine miles traveled and/or distance to go. They also help with location in times of trouble.

As we travel, we must also have mile markers. Are we still progressing? Are we traveling properly?

Goal setting is fun and rewarding when results are obtained. A goal, the dictionary says, is "an aim or purpose." Life means more with goals than without goals.

Predetermine the objectives you want to accomplish. Think on them and set out to reach your goals.

Have a good day!
Love,
Dad


"I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
(Philippians 3:14)

"Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us," (Hebrews 12:1)

"Heaven is the prize of the high calling; to brabeion - the prize we fight for, and run for, and wrestle for, what we aim at in all we do, and what will reward all our pains. It is of great use in the Christian course to keep our eye upon heaven. This is proper to give us measures in all our service, and to quicken us every step we take; and it is of God, from whom we are to expect it." (Matthew Henry's commentary of Philippians 3:14)

  1. This post is very appropriate for me today, as I am working towards a marathon in Sept. I trained today, and did not travel well. I have to keep working on my small goals EVERY DAY in order for the big goal to be accomplished in the end!
