As this year progresses on, take a moment to reflect on if you have started what you know you should? Are you headed in the right direction to meet your goals? Let’s look at the importance of getting start, aiming at the right target, and then persisting in your effort. Be encouraged to start and continue.
Start
Starting is most important. If you haven’t set goals, there no time like now. For help on getting started, look at Goal Setting – The Whole Steward or listen to 2: Goal Setting – The Whole Steward.
You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
Zig Ziglar
Heading in the right direction is vitally important when you start. Aim at the right target, then keep on shooting.
If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.
Zig Ziglar
Continue
After you’ve started aiming at the right target, you may get discouraged and feel like quitting when things get tough or you miss the target.
If you know your aiming at the right target…If you know you’re headed in the right direction…don’t quit, especially in the moments you feel discouraged.
The major difference between the big shot and the little shot is the big shot is just a little shot who kept on shooting.
Zig Ziglar
This is the proverb of the wise.
for the righteous falls seven times and rises again,
Proverbs 24:16 (ESV)
but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.
Be encouraged. Start and continue! Aim at the right target, then keep on shooting.
