YOU HAVE GOT TO HAVE A DREAM!!!
I hope you are getting the hint this week. This is a time to review and improve your life in every area; Physically, emotionally, parenting, grandparenting, marriage, retirement, planning for retirement, your next vacation, budgeting, finances, sex, health, and most importantly your walk with God.
I pray you know God has a plan for you!
We need to get in alignment with his plan and discover dreams both big and small. Plan for them, work for them, pray over them, wait for them, and realize the richness that God has for you in your intentionality to align your plans and dreams with his. Even if you only changed and pressed forward on 10 or 15% of those this year…you are moving forward…improving…being obedient.
These are a few things you must know about goal setting:
You MUST have a Goal/Dreams. They must be realistic and achievable.To dream you must change the image you have of yourself. Rise about the situation. Reshape how you think & believe about you! See yourself as God sees you. “live your life as if you wish to reach the most distant stars, climb the tallest mountains – To be the one soaring among the highest clouds! If you aim at nothing …. You hit nothing!…
So you will feel like nothing…
The goal must be clearly seen – you must have a clear picture of it. Write it down, put up a picture.
You must truly desire it. (You want it so bad that you will not take no for an answer). Typically people won’t change until there are in enough pain to force them to change. It does not have to be like that!
You must believe and desire it. (Fake it, if necessary,
Or Faith it, until it becomes real) Pray.
Treasure map it. Determine the value and know the number of treatments or sales or steps to hit it.
Set a time limit. Not someday, when I do it, but when will you have it?
Break the goals down today by activity. (Planning) Write down some bullet points. Just begin with pen and paper. Write the headline. Give it some practical steps and move on to the next category. Set your start date and select an accountability date. So many this week, month, quarter. (what can you personally do to improve your chances? Marketing ideas? Get your calendar out and be bold.
This is a new year. God is doing a new thing. Isaiah 43:18-19
“Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert”.
Are you dreaming now? Why not? It’s sad but we too often forget to remember. Let’s change that together. Pray for the “Want to’s” – start thinking. Be writing your thoughts on paper. Dream bigger with your spouse.
Bring a friend. Let us begin the year Dreamin Big! Let us bust into the new year, dreaming for God. Dreaming to enlarge our territory,
Dreaming of a closer walk with Christ!
Walk with me!
