I am tired of listening to my fears
putting off my dreams
I am tired of the what-ifs
the paths I have not taken.
I am angry with myself
for listening to the voices
those denying my passion, my vision,
my calling from Almighty God.

“S.M.A.R.T. goal setting:
Specific: General goals are “fuzzy” goals;
make goals as specific as possible.
Measurable: Goals must be measurable so you
can
monitor your progress as you work on them.
Actionable: Goals are designed to involve
action;
they speak of something to be done.
Realistic: Your goals should involve faith,
but must be in touch with the reality around
you.
Time-targeted: Every goal must have a
deadline;
a time it should be completed and evaluated.”
