Gaining Vision and Setting Goals for Life

Coach Rick on the Son Rise Morning Show with Ryan Lopez: Gaining Vision and Setting Goals for Life. 

---

​Ever made so many goals that you wanted to reach and then in the thick of it wondered...is it worth it? 

This commonly happens when we make our goals without having a vision. This causes us to loose motivation and eventually give up. However, if you first create your vision, then your goals will be supported with motivation, clarity, and direction. After all, in order to take a step towards your goals you should probably know where it is that you are going first! :) 

If you first create your vision, then your goals will be supported with motivation, clarity, and direction." 

So, what's your vision? Ever been asked that before and thought, "Wow, I don't even know!"? 

Here are some tips to gain a better understanding of what your vision is: 

• Ask yourself, "Where do I want to be in 3-5 years?" - keeping this time-span shorter helps to give yourself more realistic goals. 
• Write out 3 or 4 different areas of your life (health, marriage, relationships, spiritual life, my work, etc.) and in each category spend time writing what you would like these areas to look like in 2-3 years. Then invite the Holy Spirit into these areas - this is an important step! Taking time to reflect, writing out these visions/goals, and re-visiting them is scientifically proven to help you become a better person which will ultimately lead you to be who the Lord is calling you to be.
• Remember that you can't change everything all at once - one step at at time!
• Look back on what progress you have made. - this will help you to keep up the good work!
