Goals are good. I have nothing against goals.
My dad gives all of his kids, grandkids, and in-laws $100 bucks every time the New Year rolls around for making a set of long term and short term goals. I used to teach my English students how to make SMART goals, and assign them as homework. You might remember we talked about this very thing one year ago.
But lately, I’ve started to think there is something that needs to happen first, before we start jotting down all of our dreams and making what often turns out to be a half-hearted commitment.
We need to make sure our goals are consistent with our values. And identifying what we truly value in life can be a little trickier because the devil likes to trick us into thinking we can serve two masters.
Join us this week on “A Time to Sharpen,” as we rise up to take the 30,000 foot view of things before diving headlong into what could be just meaningless action.
