We all have goals but only few has taken time out to map out and set their  goals.

Goal setting has become a very important part of our everyday life as humans and as a matter of fact, we will get little or nothing done if we don’t set a goal for ourselves.

Take a look at an athlete who is currently training for one of the biggest race of his life, hoping to win the gold medal but for that hope to become a reality, he must have plans, plans to finish the race at the lowest time possible, plans to wake up early in the morning for exercises and so on.

The goal is the gold medal but every goal without a plan(setting) will only end up as a mere dream.

Even God, during the creation made plans for each day starting from the first day to the seventh day.

The greatest importance of Goal setting is the fact that it brings our goals into reality, it makes visible our dreams and imaginations.

Goal setting makes the impossible possible. It might look so hard, so difficult but trust me, when you have right plan, it becomes easier to achieve your goals.

One thing a proper plan needs is PATIENCE. In order to make progress with your goals, always have it in mind to take baby steps and not a huge leap. With each step, we get closer to our goals.

Don’t be too anxious or impatient, remember slow and steady wins the race but at the same time, don’t be inactive.

You don't climb a mountain by taking a huge leap neither do you climb a mountain by sitting around its bottom, doing nothing.

Youou start by taking a step and gradually you get closer until you are finally at the top.

Any goal without a proper planning could end up making the goal owner feel he or she isn’t capable thereby making them think low of themselves.

Embarking on a journey without making plans for it could end up in a total disaster or disappointment.

We need to make plans, set our goals in order not to get disappointed, broken and frustrated at the end.

“And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was VERY GOOD. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” – Genesis 1

It says in that passage above that all God made was very good meaning perfect, flawless, beautiful but it was all the outcome of a beautiful plan.

When you take time to set your goals, you will end up having a perfect and wonderful result.

You want to have a great result? Take time out to set your goals PATIENTLY  and remember to include God in your plans for he is the master planner.

Let him be inactive the first and the last in your plans and trust me when I say you will have a perfect, beautiful and flawless result.
