You may not consider yourself a leader, but as John Maxwell says, “Leadership is influence.” That means you become a leader when you decide to influence others. A big part of leading others is thinking about the future: what you want to accomplish and what you want to become. In today’s episode, we’ll continue to talk about our dreams and goals, and some of the situations we can expect to encounter as we work toward achieving our dreams.
In Genesis 37, God gives Joseph a dream but before that dream is realized, Joseph is tested. The trial Joseph faced was not something he expected but it was necessary in order to become the man God wanted him to be.
Your dream wasn’t shattered, it was just tested. How you respond to the test is your choice. What you do with the adversity and heartache will make all the difference in the world.
What’s your main goal – the one thing you want to accomplish in the next 6 months? This is your “lag goal.” Now identify three smaller goals that will move you toward your lag goal. These are your “lead goals.” Remember, unexpected trials are inevitable. How will you respond?
