Goals

Have you ever had one of those weeks where you were working hard every day towards a goal? Something that was real and important? It's been one of those weeks. All week I have been working hard to do well on my Calculus exam tonight. Every day was filled with one goal: study for Calculus. It kind of gave my days meaning, you know? You might think that taking the exam would have relieved my anxiety..but it's really just begun. Until I get back my score reports, I am going to be just as anxious.

This living with a goal in mind brings me to my next point. What if every day I lived with a goal in mind? What if every day I woke up and said that I was going to work towards becoming more Christlike? To be more loving to those around me? I believe that if I made that a conscious goal, that it could radically revolutionize my life. And the best part? Living for Christ isn't going to bring the same anxiety that silly Calculus exams do.
