Goals

I just spent some time writing out my 1, 3-5 and 10 year goals for the following:

Faith
Family
Friends
Fellowship
Finances
Career

Here are some highlights- hopefully they motivate you to get out a pen and paper and write yours down. I am beginning to think we all need to write down our goals- in many ways this process has made me believe more in the promises God has in store for me.

Life is good. I can feel it.

10 year (when I am 35)
Faith- teach practical ways to show grace to others and self. (this would be through a class at a university, church or camp). Create a program that helps people (maybe target population would be college females?) practice grace- for oneself and others. Be in the word daily, Create daily devotional blog post. Start to write a book/photography journal about the persistence of Christ’s love and grace.

3/5 years (when I am 30)
Career- be in or have completed a graduate level degree in subject that continually motives me to be creative and be a better communicator. Find a mentor in my field who is willing to commit to 10 years or mentorship. Check in with mentor at least once a quarter.

1 year (when I am 26)
Family- continue to facilitate family discussions. Check in with family, create an avenue of communication which means practicing trust and honesty. Continue to feel safe living out your faith with your family. Have one fun vacation in the sun. Date a guy that has potential.

My former boss asked me to do this- he is big on goals and I am just starting to see why. I am kinda done with the indecisiveness that surrounds the early 20s. It is time to make some amazing things happen in some very practical ways. That is the definition of a goal.

Rock on Rock Stars- in other words- Go get'em.
