“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.” Habakkuk 2:2
When writing out your vision, stay in alignment with your core beliefs and God’s will for your life. This will help you stay focused on your goals, as your vision will be a genuine representation of who you are and what you stand for.
Use S.M.A.R.T. when writing out your goals. SMART goals ensure they are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. Read this article to better understand SMART goals.
Reverse engineering goals mean you're thinking backward and unpacking larger goals into micro and nano ones. We’ll do this today to help write your vision.
Day 7 Challenge
Make sure to have your journal or paper and pen or pencil to write your answers for each prompt in the challenge below.
Define your long-term goals (5-10 years). Where do you see yourself in 5 years? In 10 years? Write it out using SMART to ensure they are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
Create short-term goals around your long-term goals (1-3 years). What do you want to say you’ve accomplished by the end of December 2024? Consider your mental, physical, occupational, social, spiritual, intellectual, and financial well-being. How does this help you achieve your long-term goals?
Create an action plan. Break down your short-term objectives into daily, weekly, or monthly tasks. What must you do every day, week, or month to achieve your short-term goals?
Speak It Everyday. Mark 11:24 says, “Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Speak out loud in the future tense about accomplishing your SMART goals. Example: By December 2024, I am a successful business owner working remotely with ten employees and five new clients.
Adjust along the way. Nothing is perfect, and adjustments are always necessary. As life happens, don’t be shaken and give up. Learn to pivot. Review and adjust your goals often to ensure they are achievable.
We pray this is helpful and pushes you in the right direction.
