Reflection
The opening quote took me back to several years ago when I noted on a piece of paper the areas of my life that I needed to give my attention and focus:
- Faith
- Family
- Fitness (Mental and Physical)
- Finances
- Friends
- Fun
Most of my annual, monthly, weekly, and daily goals are tied to these six areas; yes, even the Fun area.
Now, let’s take another look at the opening quote.
Personally, setting and achieving goals is Fun for me.
Making an impact is fun for me.
I would rephrase Godin’s quote as it pertains to me and could also pertain to you…
The thing about goals is that living without them is much more fun in the short run. It seems to me, though, that the people who get things done, who lead, who grow, and who make an impact…those people have goals…and have fun while chasing those goals!
Proverbs 21:5, “The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.”

P.E.A.C.E.ful Living
Plan – A dream/goal remains a dream until it is put into writing. Putting your dream or goal in writing is the first step in creating a PLAN to achieve it. When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Effort – Turning your dream/goal into reality requires a commitment to putting forth consistent and focused EFFORT toward the execution of your plan. Nothing great in life happens without working hard.
Attitude – Your chances of achieving your dream exponentially increase if you believe you will achieve it. Always remember that your ATTITUDE determines your altitude in life.
Community – Nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. The chances of achieving your dream expand as your COMMUNITY of positive mentors and coaches expand. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with…and yes, spending time with “people” through books and instructional videos factors into your average.
Energy – Chasing and achieving your dream requires optimal mental, physical, and spiritual levels of ENERGY. Put your dream in God’s hands and nurture your mental and physical being.
