Creating a Life You Love
Do you ever feel like you have plenty of goals, but they never seem to come to pass? Good intentions are a start, but to live your best life, you must put them into action! Today we're talking about the steps to creating a life you love. Planning your life is more than just putting dates in your planner. You have to start by understanding God's plan for your life and what He wants you to accomplish in this season. When you do, you'll be able to enjoy each season as God created it and know that you are moving toward His divine purpose for your life.
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10
The key to achieving your goals is putting your intentions into action! Being clear about what you want to do and when you will do it will help you stick to your plan.
First, think about what your main purpose is in this season of your life. You might be focused on your career, raising kids, or helping your aging parents. God knew that you would be in this season and He has plans for you to thrive during it! As you make your plans for the next three months, keep this purpose in mind.
Think about where you want to be at the end of the next three months. What do your savings look like? What memories have you made? Who is in your life?
Now, write down the things you have to do to get there.
Finally, it’s time to start writing things down in your planner! Start by adding in the anchor items; the tasks or appointments you know that you have to do. For me, this includes work, church on Sundays, and other appointments. Then, consult your budget and start assigning everything you want to do to an individual date.
