What am I Waiting for???
Hi Goalies! Have you ever asked yourself that question?? If not, I
challenge you this week to do just that!
·
Go to a mirror
·
Stare boldly at your beautiful reflection
·
Then, close your eyes and think about all the goals, dreams and
aspirations you have
· Imagine how it would make you feel to accomplish all that and
more!! Feels pretty awesome, huh? J
·
Now open your eyes and ask yourself boldly…..What am I waiting for???
I wouldn’t ask my GOALie friends to do anything that I haven’t done. I have been thinking about my big goals and
dreams a lot lately and had to ask myself this question. See, I’ve let life get
in the way lately…work, class, activities, social time, travel, etc. and I must
get back on track. We all have things we
want and frankly NEED to accomplish. This world needs your gifts, your voice, your
time, your leadership, your vision, your ______ (Fill in the blank).
Don’t let age, money, education, distractions, fear, laziness,
procrastination, comments from others, or anything else hold you back from
accomplishing all that God has for you! Live your dreams! Walk in Purpose! Seek
greatness in all that you do! You can do
anything through prayer, discipline, obedience and hard work. Will it be easy? No! Will it be worth it? Oh
yes, baby!!!
Now I have short term goals and more long term goals. The long term goals are BIG and sometimes
scare me, honestly. However, I received
an amazing word from my new Pastor recently that changed my perspective. He simply said, “If your goals do not intimidate
you, they are probably an insult to God!” Wow! Pretty major, huh? God wants to
go GREAT, BIG, AMAZING, things through our lives...above anything we could ever
imagine. So, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR??? Let’s Go GOALies!!
Please take time this week to think over your short term goals and
your BIGGER long term goals! We have
work to do!! This world needs us!! Here are a few “Rules of the Game” to get
you started…
Rules of the Game:
1.
Ask yourself who you
want to become, where you want to be, and what you want to accomplish?
2.
Write down all your
gifts, passions and things that get you excited.
3.
Write down all your
goals. (even the ones you think may be silly)
4.
Create a Vision Board
(will share directions separately)
5.
Shout positive affirmations
every morning, like:
·
“Nothing will stand in
my way to achieving my goals!”
·
“These written goals are
helping me achieve my life’s purpose!”
·
“I already have
everything I need to achieve all my goals!”
·
“I am Victorious!”
·
“Everything is working
out for me, right now!”
6.
Write down weekly to-do
lists to accomplish small steps to reach each goal.
7.
Find an accountability
partner you trust to share your goals with and have them check in on your
progress.
Please share your goals, thoughts and progress
with us! For questions or comments please email us at gogoalies14@gmail.com. We would love to hear
from you!
