Now what?

We are well into 2012. So now what? What will make 2012 different than 2011? How will you achieve your goals this year?

If you want to achieve your goals and dreams then somehow you have to do something, instead of just sitting around praying for God to do something how will you be that something that God does?

When I was a youth counselor we would talk about goal setting and life choices. We would break it down into steps.

What do you want? Today? Tomorrow? Next year?
Is what you are doing right now getting you what you want?
What do you need to do right now to get what you want?
How will you know when you have gotten what you want?

So what do you think? Can you follow these steps and try to actually accomplish what you want?

Too often our dreams and hopes for the future are simply things that we use as excuses to help us survive the mediocrity we have now. We have settled for mediocrity and we use these dreams to help us moving forward.

What if we stopped that and either admitted our life as it is or used it to drive our choices to make our life better?

How would your life look at the end of 2012 if you started taking steps to accomplish your dreams?
