Tasks

  • Create written goals that are specific, measurable and timed.
  • Identify and write out four or five action steps per goal.
  • Post your goals some place visible and read them out loud regularly.
  • Pray throughout the process of goal setting. Pray while crafting them and give thanks once you acheive them.
