By now the hype of the New Year has come and gone, by now people who said they were going to do a certain thing in 2009 is either following through with that plan or realized that that the task was to overwhelming. By now people have either stuck to what was old or started off on their new journey to fulfill whatever dream they had in their heart. We are now in the 21st day of 2009; I personally have yet to write out my goals for 2009. Though I have an idea for what I would like to see accomplished and thr previous years plan, those ideas are not updated and recommitted to paper, and it is so important to do that it says in

Habakkuk 2:2 it says “Write the vision and make it plain”

Jesus even said in

Luke 14:28 “Which of you intending to build a tower sitteth not down first and count the cost”

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION

Why do so many people make these only to come out unfulfilled, depressed and never completed? Many factors come to mind when I think of the fulfillment and attaining of goals. Here is a short list of why some do and some don’t reach the level of success they are going for1. Is God Involved? Have you prayed for guidance or is this something birthed out of your flesh?….2. Did you write out a road map and plan?….3. Are you disciplined enough to complete the plan?….4. Is your goal attainable or did you make it so lofty that not achieving in your allotted time will cause you to give up hope?….These are just a few that come to mind when I think of achieving goals and reaching for success. While speaking of it let me say this

EVERYONE’S SUCCESS IS DIFFERENT!!

Somebody may be highly successful if they get a C instead of an F, or save $10 more every pay check. Success is not defined by money, status or power. In my opinion success is defined by being at peace, being content, and having your needs met. True success starts with Salvation through Jesus Christ because then and only then can we fulfill our destinies.

Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

What is your good works that will lead you to a lifetime of fulfillment? It may be closer than you think!! Seek the Lord through His word and He will guide you to the answer! My goals are being adjusted, planned and tweaked I’m determined to make every year better than the last!
