As we come towards the summer, its a good time to review your goals that you may have set at the beginning of the year. If you did not do any, its ok, it is never to late to refocus and start making a plan for your life. Sometimes that focus maybe just to take a class or two, workout more or eat better! As long as you start the plan then work it you will be successful. By setting your goal, you make up your definition of success! If you need some scripture on it, check out what Jesus said in Luke 14:28-30:
28 “But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? 29 Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. 30 They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!’
