There are many differing points of view on New Years Resolutions, but I’m a supporter of the idea. Setting aside time to plan out how you might like to grow in your spiritual, physical, financial and emotional areas of your life can have tremendous benefit. “If you don’t know where you are going, how can you know when you’ve arrived?” is an old saw that accurately defines the problem. We need to plan to improve and grow in 09′. Not only is this true for us individually, but for our team at the Mission as well. How can we better serve our clients? How can we be more loving, encouraging and inspirational? How can we save more lives? These are quesitons that I hope you all will be asking; I know I will be.
There is a group of nay-sayers that don’t like to set goals for fear of “setting myself up for failure”, but it seems to me that this misses the point. We are all here for a purpose, designed and born for a reason. Finding and living that purpose to our best effort is an important part of having meaning in life. Living life on purpose, not on accident, is the calling of every follower of Christ.I hope you’ll take the time to consider New Year’s Resolutions, to setting out goals for yourself and for your position at work.
