What Goals Do You Have For 2023?

For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish [it]? Luke 14:28 (KJV)

Dear Reader, if I may ask, would you embark on a journey without having a definite destination in mind? I think probably not. If a close friend of yours packs his bags and tells you he’s going on vacation, and when you ask him where he’s going, he replies, “Anywhere,” I’m certain you’ll feel really uneasy. You may be surprised to learn that many people approach life with this same mindset. Today, a lot of people feel lost and hopeless. Despite their best efforts, they never seem to achieve anything significant. They didn’t take the time to consider what they wanted out of life and didn’t establish important goals for themselves, which is one of the main causes of this.
