From Goal to Reality
Imagine standing at the end of your health journey. You look back and realize that the goal that once seemed impossible became possible not because every day was easy, but because you kept going.
You made the commitment.
You developed the plan.
You reported in.
You adjusted when necessary.
You persevered when it was difficult.
You kept your eyes on the goal.
And now, you crossed the finish line.
Paul's words to Timothy capture the satisfaction of finishing well: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7.
Your health goal may seem small compared with the great spiritual race of life, but the same principles apply.
A successful health goal requires more than desire. Consider these seven essentials:
1. A clear goal: Know exactly what you are trying to accomplish.
2. A practical plan: Decide what actions will move you toward the goal.
3. Daily commitment: Do the right thing, even when motivation is low.
4. Perseverance: Expect obstacles and refuse to let them become excuses.
5. Focus: Keep your attention on where you are going rather than looking backward.
6. Accountability: Tell someone or a group your goal and establish regular times to report your progress.
7. Faith: Recognize that lasting transformation is not accomplished by human determination alone. Seek God's wisdom, strength, and guidance throughout the process. He has an abundant life and health plan just for you (John 10:10; Psalm 67:2 KJV).
Set the goal.
Make the plan.
Begin.
Report in.
Persevere.
Stay focused.
Get back up when you fall.
Keep moving forward.
And finish the race by cooperating with Jesus Who is your Life (Colossian 3:3-4).
The Bible says, “As there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance completion also.” 2 Corinthians 8:11
So don't stop at readiness.
Move from intention to action.
From action to consistency.
From consistency to perseverance.
And from perseverance to perform it all the way to accomplishment.
The finish line begins with the next step.
