Fear
is a whisper, a shout,
an
unspoken terror, fatal;
Fear
is a lie, a laugh,
changing
our path, our journey,
seeking
to control our lives.
Fear
is a lie, a guttural utterance,
a
kind of imprisonment
shackles
on our dreams;
Fear
seeks to put fetters on our future
to
forever hold us in chains.

“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.”
