Life Stuff: On Goals

Funny, here I am, half way through life and asking myself what I want to really achieve in LIFE.

What does God want from me? I’ve got a “Vision” and a “Mission” and “Values” clearly stated on paper. It’s worked well – short term goals have been set and achieved. It seems terribly anal – but there are things I want to achieve before I leave this planet. But what is clearly missing is to set some tangible BHAG’s – Big Hairy Audacious Goals for myself. To link the now with the end state.

What about setting 7 x 5 year goals from here until I hit 70 odd? I know things change, more detail will be in earlier goals – but at least the end is defined and the direction is set.

I’m gonna take some time over my leave in a few weeks to think things through and draft some BHAG’s for all life areas – God stuff, Family (Husband & Father), Work, Christian Service, Finances, Recreation, Fitness, etc. I’m not a big "pray-er" either so I hope God will help me to determine my plans with his Blueprint for my life....

“If you’re bored with life, if you don’t get up each morning with a burning desire to do things―you don’t have enough goals”
