Here is some advice I would like to
pass on to my children for the new year. I will post one point each day until they are done. I ask my children, who know me better than most anyone, to please do not balk at these
for my obvious imperfections and inconsistencies. Know that I am
working at these and hope you will also. These are based on half a
century of experience and observing others:
1- Set worthwhile goals and work
towards them. People who have good goals, short and long range, have
a direction and purpose in life. If you are on a track, determined
by goals, it's much more difficult for destructive influences
(drifters, losers, etc.) to get you to drift or be wishy-washy, and
you have to spend a lot less time making up lost ground when you
finally figure out you've taken a wrong direction. Make sure your
goals will keep and put you in places where you can be a blessing in
the lives of other people. Spend a lot of your planning and
implementing time on your knees. When you're not on your knees, work
smart and work hard. Don't drift, but become your potential. Don't
kill yourself over unmet goals...just adjust and keep heading in the
right direction. The right direction is your ultimate goal...to
become like Jesus Christ.
