Isn’t it amazing that we seem to enjoy waiting for everything to fall in place before we do what we know we ought to do?

We wait to feel better before we accept that we are healed.

We wait for goose pimples before we admit that we believe.

We  wait to feel better before we encourage others.

We wait to make more money before we give.

We wait to be appreciated before we celebrate others.

We wait to be motivated before we reach for our dreams.

We wait to have the contacts and connections before we start the business.

We wait to be fired before we release the enterpreneurs in us.

We wait for  financial crises before we take responsibility for our finances.

We wait for the doctor’s diagnosis before we take care of our health.

We wait for birthdays and christmas before we celebrate and celebrate with people.

We wait for the government to fix the Nation.

We wait for our spouses to provide what we should also contribute towards.

We wait for our kids to be better before we become better parents.

We wait for the pastor to preach until his nose bleeds before we obey God,

We wait for…

Ok.Seems I’ve been talking to much.Tell me.What are you waiting for?

On a serious note, I really want to know.

We are nearly half way into this year and I have been assessing my performance so far.I haven’t achieved as much as I thought I would have but I am grateful to God that I am making progress in every area of my life.I am not where I thought I would be by now but it feels good to know that I am not where I used to be.

I realize that not everybody can say that.Some people haven’t made any significant move towards their goals.There may be a variety of reasons for that but the main reason why many people never hit their targets is because they have no targets in the first place. Not every one has goals, targets, deadlines.Not everyone is motivated to do something significant with their lives.Many people uphold the “que sera sera ” philosophy.They believe that what will be will be.If you are one of such people, I’m sorry to disappoint you because what will be may not always be (excuse my grammar).

If it’s going to be, it’s up to me.

You’ve got to have targets..goals..deadlines.You must have a list of things you want to do.

Imagine a game of soccer without goalposts.

Imagine a game of basketball without a ring.

Imagine a game of golf without any hole.

Imagine throwing darts without the bull’s eye.

A life without goals can never be a life of excellence.

If you don’t have any goals, it’s not too late.I believe this post has provided the inspiration you need to set your goals and work towards them.It would be a brilliant idea to pick up a pen and a jotter immediately after you read this post.

Do some brainstorming and set well defined goals for the rest of the year starting from today.Don’t just write the goals on paper, make sure they are etched on the tables of your heart but more importantly, take at least one step towards the direction of your goals everyday.
