| Where there is no vision the people perish |
It all started two weeks ago when I read a blog post from one of the blogs I follow. This post came from Sublime Reflection and the author's name is Kimberly Job. The post was entitled Design Your Destiny 2015 and it was about a special goal setting group / course that she was offering. I signed up for the course, and I am so glad that I did!
There were several exercises that Kimberly provided to review 2014 and to really narrow down our goals for 2015. Not only that, but it provided you with steps to help plan out your goals. If you don't have a plan for your goals, you will not be any closer to achieving them. Throughout this process, I have set 10 goals that I want to accomplish in 2015 and created a plan for each of those goals. I will be sharing some of these goals with you in upcoming posts.
In addition to these wonderful resources, I have gotten a Passion Planner that I am going to use in 2015. This planner is an amazing tool that you use to prioritize the things you are passionate about and want to accomplish. Once you have done this, you use the planner to help schedule and plan how to achieve these goals. I am SO excited to use this planner. Here is the picture of my passion planner.
I have included links to both Sublime Reflection and the Passion Planner website under the helpful links heading on the right hand side. I encourage you to check both of them out!
As I was reflecting on 2014, I realized that two things I was proud of - completing the Mini-Marathon and completing 75 miles in July were both fitness related, but they also had other things in common. I had plans for them. I had goals and I had plans to achieve those goals. I also had accountability. The rest of the year I didn't set any goals. I didn't have any plans. I didn't enlist any accountability. And if you read my last post, you saw the end result of all of that. While reflecting on this, the bible verse kept coming back to me. Without vision, I had perished. I got lost because I didn't have any place to go.
That is probably the most valuable lesson I have learned in 2014. I would have never learned it if I didn't take Kimberly's course. 2015 is going to be an amazing year for me. I have some major mountains in front of me, but for the first time ever, I have a plan on how to climb them.

I'm so glad you joined the group! I know great things are in your future, and I'm excited to watch you achieve them. Thanks for your kind words. :)
