Goals: Ways & Destinations

When Alice asked him which way she ought  to go  and said she didn't care where she went, the Cat simply replied, "then it doesn't matter which way you go." From Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
   Aren't there many who are simply looking for another interesting path to follow and entertain themselves along that way with little concern for the results or long term consequences? They run almost aimlessly. Oh, they have a wish list. But they dream at night only wake to the same days they've already spent and thus they seek a new way of spending it without consideration of where it will all truly end.
   What are your purpose and goals in life? Do you have the commitment and discipline to realistically pursue them? The passion to set them as a priority in your life?
   If one has a goal, then there are objectives to achieving that goal and THEN MOST IMPORTANT, there are tasks to achieve each objective. All measurable so when the next new year occurs and measurements are taken, they can see if they are in fact closer to achieving what they've dreamed about and not simply keep dreaming and wishing.

 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize ? Run in such a way as to get the prize . Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."
  1 Corinthians 9:24-27 NIV
And What Ultimate Prize?
   If you are to have a life spent on a cause greater than oneself. Then what would that be? Nothing could be greater than our eternal purpose in Life to glorify God. Are You IN?
 "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians  3:14 NIV
