8. Goals

The end of the year is nearing. We will make new goals with fullness of hope they will be fulfilled.

How many times have you made a list of goals? How many of those goals were you able to complete?

I always make a list and every year, as the end approaches, I look at my list and shake my head in disappointment. Goal 1 was not completed, neither was goal 2, or 3, or 4, and the list goes on.

Yet, I am thankful for goals because they give me some direction as to where I want to be. I know this year will not be any different. I will make my list and work on it slowly but steady. My list will be the same as last year's as I do intend to work on those goals and, eventually, complete them.

The one thing I have learned over the years is to break them down; this way, even if I only get to step 3 of 10, I have made some progress. And this is what life is all about: making progress, one step at the time.

Don't be afraid of making goals. Do break them down in smaller steps. Keep track of those steps and one day, that goal will be met.
