THIS YEAR I RESOLVE TO...(1/6)

By Jeff Knight on 2008

The beginning of 2008; a New Year is upon us. For many, the coming weeks will be zealous attempts at “goals” intended to change their lives. It is a cycle that repeats itself each year. Someone makes a New Years resolution, but three weeks later, resolution abandoned.

I know the word “resolution” is clichéd and way over used; nevertheless, I want to challenge you to call it whatever you want, but make a goal and go for it. Like the person, who loses the 100 lbs; the climber, who summits Mt. Rainier; the student, who graduates with honors; or the marriage, that invests in itself, this task will have earth shattering results.

This year I have sets some lofty goals in 5 areas of my life. These are not goals like, “I’ll go to the gym 5 days a week because I know I will not go to the gym five days a week; instead, I will go as often as I can.” These are not goals like, “I’m going to get up at 6 am every morning. There is no way on God’s green earth that would happen for me, but I am going to purpose to get up earlier often.”

Here are the 5 areas I am working on: Spiritual; Physical; Financial; Social; Emotional. In the next five posts I will let you know what I am doing in 2008 and hopefully you’ll be challenged to your best year yet.
