GOALS AND PURPOSES
Desires, hopes, aspirations, goals,
Life purposes, something to do,
Are things that can help you make your life
More enjoyable for you.
Goals are incentives and stepping stones
To achieve the potential of our creation.
They are well defined objectives
That give us motivation.
A goal avoids boredom, depression, discouragement.
A goal gives you something important to do.
A goal gives persistence, perseverance, endurance
An incentive to “see it through”.
A goal can help you: “ Do something !” “ Be someone!”
A goal can help you make friends.
A goal helps you concentrate your efforts
To achieve success from loose ends.
Write out your goal in clearly defined terms.
Make a simple, feasible plan that you’ll need.
Keep a picture in mind: “You achieving your goal”.
That picture will help you succeed.
A purpose in life gives you vigor and vim.
It’s God’s way to help you return to Him.
He has given instructions for all that you do
With blessings and benefits without end for you.
Goals are parts of your purpose in life
By taking one thing at a time
And developing it in a manner
That makes it an asset prime.
Your purpose in life is to become all that you can be
In personality, character, spirit and mind
With talents, abilities, skills of the body
And speech and manners refined.
