SCRIPTURE: “You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” (-Deuteronomy 6:9 NIV)
QUOTE: “Review your goals twice every day in order to be focused on achieving them.” -Les Brown
NOTE:
A goal in itself may just be a couple of words carefully strung together until it moves from idea to thought and from mind to meditation. Once you have written down your goals, the next step is to activate the creative powers of your subconscious mind by reviewing your list regularly, (two to three times every day wouldn’t be a bad idea). When goals go from mind to paper and from paper to mind, it becomes empowering.
ILLUSTRATION:
When Olympic decathlon gold medalist Bruce Jenner asked a room full of Olympic hopefuls if they had a list of written goals, everyone raised his hand. When he asked how many of them had their list with them right at the moment, only one person raised his hand. That person was Dan O’Brien who went on to win the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Don’t underestimate the power of setting goals and constantly reviewing them!
REFLECTION:
- When last did you review your written goals?
- Have you made this a daily discipline?
