Give yourself a goal
+++++++++++++++++++
Do yourself a favor and give yourself a goal. There is nothing that can give you the same positive, satisfying feeling as deciding to do something and then getting it done.
Give yourself a goal, and make it one that’s truly meaningful to you. Experience the joy of creating exactly what you would like to have.
When you give yourself a goal, you give your actions a purpose. With a real and meaningful purpose behind them, those actions become vastly more effective.
When you are following a meaningful goal, it feels so right that once the goal is reached you’ll want to have another.
So do yourself an even bigger favor and get in the habit of creating and achieving goals for yourself on a regular basis.
The more goals you reach, the more enthusiastic you’ll be to devise new ones. Even when you start with just a tiny, modest goal, you’ll find yourself easily and naturally progressing to bigger, more ambitious ones.
Give yourself a goal, and the benefits will go far beyond you. You’ll be making your world a more valuable and fulfilling place to live.

Luke 18:31-34
“And He (Jesus) took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.”
“For He will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon…”
“…and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again.”
“And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.” Luke 18:31-34 (NAS) Forward to a friend
John 17:1-8
“These things Jesus spoke; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Thy Son, that the Son may glorify Thee, even as Thou gavest Him authority over all mankind, that to all whom Thou hast given Him, He may give eternal life.”
“And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. I glorified Thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which Thou hast given Me to do. And now, glorify Thou Me together with Thyself, Father, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was.”
“I manifested Thy name to the men whom Thou gavest Me out of the world; Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to Me, and they have kept Thy word.”
“Now they have come to know that everything Thou hast given Me is from Thee; for the words which Thou gavest Me I have given to them; and they received them, and truly understood that I came forth from Thee, and they believed that Thou didst send Me.” John 17:1-8 (NAS)
