Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.Smart Goals Are Wise To Make! NeedEncouragement.com Smart goals differ from person to person since each individual has unique values and priorities in life. It is important to recognize that while smart spiritual goals are values and priorities in life. We must always remember that God has a divine plan for our lives, and if we are wise, we will make it our ultimate goal to seek His direction and wisdom through prayer. Seeking wise counsel from others can be very encouraging, and also prove immensely beneficial on this journey.

However, At The End Of The Day, We Must Seek Our Guidance Directly From God Himself, And Also People Who God Puts In Our Life To Give Us Guidance And Direction. Through Personal Experience, I Have Learned That Praying Before Setting Goals Leads To Better Outcomes Because It Aligns Our Actions With What Truly Matters. Never Underestimate The Power Of Prayer; It Can Determine Whether We Succeed Or Fail In Achieving Our Smart Goals!

Remember that God has a plan for our lives; if we are wise, we will make it our goal to pray and ask God for His direction and wisdom to carry out the purposes! Wise counsel from others can indeed be very beneficial in order to gather the facts and truth. Remember to pray to God about whatever goal you are trying to attain, and give yourself time to process your thoughts to make a wise decision without knee-jerking a quick emotional reaction decision. Do you have smart goals? If so, have you identified them specifically?~ Bill Greguska

Philippians 3:14  I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Set Smart Goals With Real Thought Involved!

 

How You Can Plan Your Day Better!

If you are a Christian, planning your day is not a process of making your own goals but of discerning God’s directions. That is best accomplished by asking the right questions each morning. Look at the items below and see what strikes you the most.
 

1. Questions To Focus On What God Wants

  • What does God want me to do today?
  • If today were the last day of my life, how would I choose to spend it?
  • Who will I most likely run into that needs my help or encouragement today?
  • Where have I seen God’s blessing in my life recently? Would it be wise to do more of that activity?
  • What do I feel passionate about? Could my day take on greater significance by devoting more time and energy to that cause?

 

2. Questions To Help You Be More Productive

  • Who do I need to partner with to multiply my effectiveness?
  • What can I do today that will matter in 5 years?
  • What can I do today that will matter in eternity?
  • God has given me a unique set of spiritual gifts. Where can I apply those gifts to achieve the most significant possible results?
  • Are there skills I could learn or improve to achieve my goals?
  • What is the biggest problem in my life right now? What can I do about it today?
  • About 20% of my day produces 80% of my results. How can I increase my results by enlarging that 20%?

 

3. Questions To Develop Godly Character

  • What fruits of the Spirit do I need to work on today?
  • What have I been procrastinating on that needs my attention today?
  • Who can I serve today without expecting anything in return?
  • What promises and commitments do I need to keep today?
  • Which area of my life lacks and needs my attention today: Spiritual, Financial, Family, Career, Health, or Social?

 

4. Questions To Avoid Many Unnecessary Problems

  • What am I most likely to do today to distract me from doing what I should do?
  • Where did I fail yesterday, and how can I avoid making a similar mistake today?
  • Of the many things I could do, which should I do?
  • Where are today’s interruptions and distractions most likely to arise from?
  • How can I simplify my life today? What clutter can I cut out, or what can I delegate?
  • What would it take to end today with no regrets?

 

One Step At A Time Goal Achieving!

Smart Goals Rely On God For Direction:

  • S: Is your goal Specific? Is it merely stated? Does it indicate what you want to happen?
  • M: Is your goal Measurable? Is it clear when or how you’ll meet your goal? (“As much as I can” or “soon” aren’t as quantifiable as “reduce by 5%” or “by the end of the year.”)
  • A: Is your goal Achievable? Is it reasonable and attainable? If your plans are specific and measurable, there shouldn’t be any doubt whether they are possible. Matthew 19:26
  • R: Is your goal Realistic? Is it so realistic that you’re willing and able to work on it?
  • T: Is your goal Timely? Set a schedule so you have time to meet it.

God’s Plans Are Better Than Our Plans!

I used a familiar expression in carpentry when building wheelchair ramps: “Measure twice, cut once.” God has given each of us a mind to use, and it is merely when we lean on Him to make our plans come to a realization. With our efforts, we are bound to fail at some point, but with God, even if our dreams do not come out the way we hoped, that is when God has allowed the plans to change for our best interest.

“You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.” ~ Les Brown

James 1:5  If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
