The Secret of your Future is Hidden in your DAILY Routine…Set your goals!

Your goals will change throughout your life…but here are 6 Tips Concerning your Dreams & Goals:

1. Invest ONE Hour in writing down CLEARLY the goals that really matter to you at this point.
2. Permit Unexciting Dreams of Yesterday to DIE!   Stop pursuing something that does not have the ability to EXCITE you anymore.  Don’t feel obligated to keep trying to obtain it…if you are in a different place in your life  (Isa. 43:18,19)
3. Do NOT depend on Others to understand YOUR dreams and goals (exception: your director & national, if you are fortunate enough to have one)  Permit them their individuality, too.  They have every right to love the things they love.  But REFUSE to be intimidated by their efforts to persuade you to move in a different direction with your life.
4. NEVER make permanent decisions because of temporary feelings.  (don’t quit when you’ve had a bad class, day or week…never decide when you are feeling low or not feeling well)
5. Avoid relationships with those who do not really respect your dreams.  Sometimes ties will have to be severed.  Wrong people do not always leave your life voluntarily.  Life is too short to permit discouragers close to you.  “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” (Eph. 5:11)
6. Anticipate Changes in your Goals.   Your present feelings and opinions are not permanent.  New experiences are coming each day, with each challenge as you grow and ‘become’   Stay conscious of this growth.

When you assess and evaluate your goals, you will unclutter your life of the unnecessary.   Set those goals and Update them continuously…tweak them...the time frame…the effort required…for this is truly one of the ‘Secrets of Champions’!
