“The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.”
– Proverbs 21:5
 It’s important to take some time for yourself and find a place where you can think clearly. If you have children, consider hiring a babysitter or asking your parents or someone else for help. You could visit a café, go for a hike, or spend some time in a special place that holds meaning for you—just for you, and just by yourself. Bring something to write on and jot down your dreams and aspirations. Ask yourself and record: Where would you go if you could travel anywhere? What would you do? Who would you share this experience with? What feelings would arise? What would you see, and how would you present yourself? How many hearts would you touch along the way?
As you consider the impact you want to make, take a moment to write it down. Forget about rules and even reality; just let your imagination flow. What would your vision look like? Remember, it is possible for you. Write it down, and then, here’s the key: keep writing it down every day. This is where many people give up. It’s not difficult to write just three sentences each day; in fact, it’s quite easy. But it’s also easy to choose not to do it. Friend, when I started writing down my goals every day, I learned from successful older men that it makes a difference, and it truly has. Write down your goals, and your life will begin to move in that direction. As they say, where your focus goes, your energy flows. You’ll work with God towards a greater purpose than where you are now! |
Prayer
Father, please help me to be diligent in writing down my goals every day!
Reflection
Have you considered the impact you want to make? Is this vision written down and reviewed daily?

Thank you pastor Schuller, for this reminder. This has been my goal this year , to journal more, hear the Lord’s desires for me, and obey and will.
I am praying to be more faithful in this and all that o do.
One thing I do know. . . I am grateful for all He allows me to do or go through. He doesn’t have to use me. But I am grateful that He does.
AMEN ❤️
