Hello my friends,
In 1972, Life Magizine published a story about the amazing adventures of John Goddard,
When he was fifteen, Johns grandmother said,
"If only I had done that when I was young,...
Determined not to make that statement at the end of his life, John wrote 127 goals for his life.
He named ten rivers he wanted to explore and seventeen mountains he wanted to climb.
He set goals of becoming an Eagle Scout, a world traveler, and a pilot.
Also on his list was: ride a horse in the rose bowl parade, dive in a submarine, retrace the travels of Marco Polo, read the bible from cover to cover, and read the entire Encyclopedia Brtannica.
He also planned to read the entire works of Shakespear, Plato,Dickens, Socrates, Aristotle, ans several other classic authors.
He desired to learn to play the flute and violin, marry, have children (he had five), pursue a career in medicine, and serve as a missionary for his church.
Sound impossible???
At the age of fourty seven John Goddard has accomplished one hundred and three of his goals!!!!
Your list of goals may not be as extensive as John Goddards, but if you don't have some goals in life, you'll find that you have little motivation to get up in the morning and little satisfaction as your head hits the pillow each night.
What ever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the lord, not for man.
Colossians 3:23
