Goals, Hopes, and Dreams – Day 3
July 18, 2018
“I want a new home, a great job, and lots of money,” one man said.
“What practical steps are you taking to help that happen?” I asked.
“I’m not very good at practical steps,” he said. “But I’m an expert at dreams.”
It’s important to fantasize, but if you want your fantasies to materialize, you have to take practical steps. Turn dreams into achievable written goals.
It takes courage to go for what we want. Giving something our all, then failing, is a risk. Anyone I know who has accomplished anything of value has failed on the road to success.
Challenge: The hardest thing about going for our goals, hopes, and dreams can be fighting off that part of us that says, “What’s the use?” Ordinary people can accomplish extraordinary things when they make a choice to do something, then surrender to God’s Will.
