There is always enough time to achieve what God wants us to accomplish. Yet even as men and women of faith, determining what God wants us to accomplish can be a bit challenging, especially when we are surrounded by an avalanche of short term cultural trends and suggestions.
It's not that we don't have good intentions. Most of us do entertain worthwhile goals. But good intentions by themselves will only take us down a well-traveled, but undesirable road. Good goals are only a starting point, not a finish line. The real question is whether or not we will alter our habits to fulfill those intentions.
In what ways have you positioned yourself to keep your promises and honor your commitments?
Have you set yourself up for success or repetitive failure?
Take a moment today to identify your most important priorities and the specific activities that correspond to helping you achieve goals related to those priorities. Then schedule these activities like you would a critical business meeting.
When you place your values in your calendar, you elevate their importance and increase the likelihood that you will accomplish your goals. If you're serious about living at your best, then you'll make these "appointments with yourself" a discipline you'll maintain for a lifetime.
What are you waiting for? It's the time of your life!
