Every success-oriented seminar I’ve attended has challenged me to set BIG GOALS in all areas of life: family, finances, health, career, etc. It’s not bad avice; we all need to push ourselves to improve in every possible way.
But this year I’m encouraging you to place one goal ahead of all the others. I’m encouraging you to zero in on one specific thing — maybe your weight or your marriage or your income — and decide now that you will give this one item top priority in 2009. Decide now that in the next 12 months, even if you fail at everything else, you will see progress in this one area.
If you’re like me, your list of needed improvements is long. All of them are important or they wouldn’t have made the list. But one of them is a little more special to you, or a little more urgent. Circle it. Think about it. Pray about it. Read about it. And decide today that this is the one you will conquer in 2009.
