The Magic Number Seven

Let's look at Zig Ziglar's 7 specific areas where goals can be set:

1. Physical - how do you feel? How do you look? How do you want to feel and how do you want to look? The Bible says, “Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit” 1st Cor. 6:19. Are you setting bigger goals this year to take better care of your body?
2. Financial - there aren’t too many things that feel better then financial freedom. I challenge you to set goals to get totally out of debt. A great book to read is by Dave Ramsey: “Total Money Makeover”. Maybe reading his book can be your first financial goal.
3. Spiritual - the Bible states, “If we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. I challenge you to do what works for you to get closer to God and become the spiritual giant he has created you to be. Go Ahead! Start right now and set those goals.
4. Career - I would encourage you to purchase the book, “Strength Finders 2.0” and take the online survey to find out where your strengths are. Your goal should be to wake up everyday doing what you love to do and actually have people pay you to do it.
5. Family - Are you like most of us who get so caught up with work that family ends up far down our list of priorities? Set a goal to take a family vacation and enjoy life. Oh yeah, and don’t forget to laugh a lot.
6. Mental - Set some goals to take time from your busy schedule and rest your mind. When was the last time you did something fun which didn’t require a lot of mental work? Take time to meditate. And by all means meditate on God's word.
7. Social - Have you found yourself becoming a couch potato and not really wanting to socialize with people. Come on! Get up and plan a night out with your friends. You will feel so much better.

Have fun setting your goals. Remember the main way to get ahead in life is to help as many other people as you can to get ahead.

Is there anyone out there who you are helping to accomplish their goals, right now???
