I have had a number of people poke playful fun at me recently, expecting me to have my new goals for the new year already completed. I must say, I take that as a compliment because it shows that my intentions and my way of life have been manifested enough to people who know me. And yes indeed, I have my goals, objectives, and standards (GOS) in semi-finished form for 2025.
Something that helps me navigate my life is focusing on a Compass, a Calendar, a Clock, and a Calculator. These tools help direct me in the direction I want to go in 2025.
We live in a fast-paced, complicated world that can cause a person to become disoriented, misdirected, confounded, or confused. It is imperative that we understand our mission and have a clear vision for our lives, for one day we will give an account to the Lord Jesus.
Therefore, also we have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:9-10
Since this is true, I want to make sure I count the days and make the days count.
As Moses stated in Psalm 90,“Teach us to number our days that we might present to you a heart of wisdom.”
Speaking to us today, Stephen Covey reminds us: Anything less than a conscious commitment to the important is an unconscious commitment to the unimportant.
What will be and who will be important to you in 2025?
