Goals

The great philosopher Socrates once said “The unexamined life is not worth living”, 

Well that may be true… but the great Warren Heckman once said the unplanned life isn’t worth much either… Garth Heckman

 

 

 

The future is where we are headed. Everyone wants a better future, and a better future depends on what we do today. So make today count so your future will be better!

 

WE TO MANY TIMES FOCUS ON THE FUTURE- AND THAT IS POINTLESS. IF WE FOCUS ON TODAY WE IMPACT THE FUTURE.

 

“Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?” Luke 14:28 

 

Todays to do for tomorrows ta da! 

 

My calendar secrets…

Look at the year and give myself a heads up reminders on what I should be working on…

Anniversary… its in July, so I am putting reminders in my calendar to help plan the budget, the gifts the travel etc…

I have a conference coming up, I do the same thing

 

Then I look over my monthly calendar every week

I look over my weekly calendar every day/night

I look over my next day ever evening before.

 

One of my greatest joys is looking back over all my to do lists.

It brings joy, it motivates me, it gets the creative juices going, it reminds me of areas to keep working on.

 

 

I was once audited by the IRS for mileage and ministry reimbursement… This was when I kept my to lists in journals (I still have them) I had such great detailed to do lists, that I mailed them into the IRS and they dropped the audit.

 

I love Stephen Coveys book 7 habits of highly effective people.

here is what I gleaned out of it.

I have a few roles in my life:

Follower or Christ

Husband, father, son, grandpa

Pastor

Entrepreneur

Speaker

ministry leadership

SO I LOOK AT EACH OF THESE ROLES AND ASK MYSELF WHAT ARE A FEW THINGS I CAN DO TODAY/THIS WEEK TO BE A BETTER LEADER/INFLUENCER IN THESE AREAS. (THAT IS MY SPIRITUAL GIFT…exhorter)

 

It doesn’t mean I don’t have goals on the future or have future plans… but I realize to make those things happen- I need to focus on today!
