Topic: GOAL-DRIVEN LIFE (Part 4)

Bible Text: “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance and advantage, but everyone who acts in haste comes surely to poverty.” Proverbs 21:5 AMP

Goals help you focus your energy. The presence of a goalpost is what makes the game of football meaningful. Without a goal in mind, everyone in a football game will run around aimlessly, wasting time and energy while accomplishing nothing meaningful. In real life, this is also true.

The value of time can truly be measured when goals are achieved. For example, you could say, “I was able to complete this in 6 months”, or “I intend to complete this in the next three weeks.”

Goals direct what you should strive for. Therefore, goal setting is the starting point for achievement.

Goals are the steps that must be taken to reach the pinnacle of something.

EVERY GOAL HAS 4 MAIN EXPRESSIONS

1. WHAT (This is the goal; it reveals the focus, desire, and purpose).
2. WHY (This is the set of benefits to be gained).
3. HOW (This talks about the strategy; it is the map that provides the direction and measures of achievement).
4. WHEN (This is the precision of time, the deadline and the date in view).

Having clear goals with plans for how to achieve them is one sure way to move forward in our lives. Don’t just strive for greatness; set goals, meet them, and you’ll be surprised at how quickly your life will improve.

There is no secret formula for success or significance; the person with goals will always outperform those who do not.

WISDOM PUSH:

1. Become disciplined in how you use your time daily.
2. Set daily goals for yourself.
3. Refuse to proceed with anything unclear to you.
