The purpose of Christian visions and goals

[jennifer_bloom]

I both loved and hated goal setting, loved the self esteem boost and social favour it gave me, hated the work and stress of trying to achieve the goal, but today I had a new idea about it.

The goal setting is not meant to challenge you, it’s meant to direct your behavior and action so that you act and behave in a way that is beneficial, either for yourself or for others or for God. Like if you have $20 and you have the goal of weight loss, you might buy salad ingredients that will lower your risk of disease and cataracts but without a goal, you might buy a snickers bar or a bag of chips, and than 5 years later, you get rejected by a guy who had a crush on you when you were younger etc…

The goal is not created to add to your work load, it is created to define and categorize your work load so that you spend your time on productive behaviours like cleaning the house and not on unproductive ones like improving your skateboarding skills or wine tasting vocabulary so that you can impress others etc…

Just to piggy-back on that - - - - -

- - - if the GOAL is achievable in "one step", that goal is "good to go" and ready to be reached.

- - - - if the GOAL needs more than one step, it needs to be subdivided into single, reachable steps. Then it's ready to be reached.

Nice post.
