Have you noticed that when you are driving in the dark, though you can only see about 100 to 500 meters ahead of you, you would still be able to arrive at your destination; that’s provided you know where you are headed: your final destination. In this episode, I used a recent experience I had driving in the dark on Highway 401 to emphasize how important it is to know both your long term and short-term goals in order to achieve God’s purpose for you.
Your Long Term and Short Term Goals Formula:
In order to be able to fully embrace God’s purpose for you, here are 2 main steps you need to take.
- Know your final destination; unfortunately many don’t start knowing where they are ended. However, if you are one of those that are not sure, here is a formula that worked for me. Write down the names of 2-3 people living or dead that reminds you of who you will love to become. As you write, you eliminate other distractions and also eliminate part of those selected individual’s work that you don’t see in your future.
- Then align each of your short-term goals with the long-term future you see. Then, start taking consistent actions, each day, in the right direction and trust God to bring His plans to pass in your life.
