Go for the Prize in 2021

 

Go for the Prize in 2021

Willey Jolley says, “a setback is a setup for a comeback”. Les Brown won’t let you park your car on the side of the road, just because you missed a turn. The great apostle Paul says, “forgetting what lies behind I press on to the goal that lies ahead”. It seems to me that we all come to earth to play a small part and then depart. That small part takes heart, mind and soul and is the only way we can leave the world a better place. A lot has been said about 2020 and perhaps the worst place to look for inspiration is in the past – you have already been there! Looking ahead is an awesome, fearsome and challenging undertaking that always raises the stakes. Perhaps a dream died in 2020 and maybe you almost died with it. Maybe and just maybe you have justifiable reason to give up on this whole “goal setting thing” because it has never worked for you all these years. But I have one more reason for you to rise up and try again as Jolley, Brown and the great apostle Paul would say – it’s a New Year! And because it is a new year it brings an opportunity for New Hope, New Joy and New Success. So set up those goals for 2021 again, yes, again and never ever give up your future for anything in your past.  Trust God, who made you and the universe, to bring it to pass and press on to the prize that lies ahead. What prize are you going for in 2021?
