I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.
The graduates involved in these studies were asked if they had a clear, specific set of goals for
their future. Were these goals written down with a plan for achieving them? It turned out that
only 3 percent of those interviewed had such written goals.
Twenty years later, in 1973, the researchers went back and interviewed the surviving members of
the 1953 graduating class. They discovered that the 3 percent with written specific goals had
achieved more in financial terms than the entire other 97 percent put together. They also seemed
to be happier and more "together" in every way.
What goals have you set to fulfill God's call in your life?
(Philippians 3:14
NRSV)
There is a famous study involving graduates of Yale University of the class of 1953. It involves
goal-setting. Do you know where you are headed in life? Do you know how you are going to get
there?
Dear Jesus, guide me through the maze of life as I fulfill my calling. Amen.
