You know how to finish that opening! But exactly how do we do that? A good place to start is a grateful heart – grateful for what we already have. We also need to go back to our life goals and refocus our agenda. Be on the lookout for distractions. Don’t be tempted by sin that is always calling on us to relax our attitudes. Prayer is vital, too. Write down your long-term goals and your short-term goals. Pray about them daily. Ask God to guide you toward the next steps. Huge goals require more steps, so allow time for that. Also, we can’t get discouraged when we miss a step along the way. It’s how we learn. “One small step for man” can become a giant leap toward your goals in life!
