Dale Matthews did just writing down your goals gives you a 42 percent higher chance of reaching your goal so if you simply write them down so that's kind of your cue to get some paper and get a pin and don't don't just get your computer out I mean forage right now for paper and pen because the process of writing is actually a mental commitment to making it happen so forage for paper and pen right now and you're already halfway to your goal did you know that 97% of people don't write close it off so by the fact that you're actually writing them down you just went from somewhere in the masses to the top three percent of people so congratulations finding that paper finding that pen taking time to listen starting to think and getting something on paper and I'm gonna help you to figure out what to put there don't worry you are already halfway there to reaching it and you're in the top three percent of people in the world I couldn't be more proud of you so that that scripture says don't be transformed it conformed to the world would be he transformed how by the renewing of your mind do dogs like bones I mean I guess dogs like bones I mean I see him chewing on bones but if I was a dog I wouldn't like bones I'd like steak how many of you think if we flip-flop the places and the dogs got to be at the table and we had to be on the floor the dogs would eat the steak and give us the bones so the question I have for you out of that is why are we living off the bones in life well we should be in steak and I think the answer might be because the steak we see it there but we don't know how to eat what would it take for this to be the most amazing year of your life what would it take now I don't want you to do pages of goals here's where we're gonna start qualifying things a studies been done recently and when we qualify our goals all the way down to seven to ten goals that we can then internalize not 20 not fifty but seven to ten goals when we can internalize those seven to ten goals then those goals become a part of us those goals are easy to focus on now a lot of times I have written down so many goals in my past and I've reached some of them and I've not reached others and I forgotten about a lot of them so we're gonna actually walk through an exercise of how to not forget about the goals matter of fact you know while you're here would you mind

crank comm I've got a free download on there with some really great super free because I love free free is the best deal ever super free tools that are gonna help you achieve your goals it's my gift to you because I believe in you you might be thinking how can you believe in me you don't even know me I know that you're investing in yourself and Warren Buffett says when you invest in yourself you get a thousand percent return that's why I know it's safe to believe in you and what you're doing so here's our first step we're asking what would it take for this year to become an amazing year and then step number two we're only gonna write down seven to ten things and they can't be so loose so I was just at a and a party the other night and I was with some people and I said hey tell me you have any goals for the year and you know they said oh I'm gonna get more organized but I'm gonna lose some weight well I want to have more time to myself and they were very loose and they were very hard to quantify and they were very you couldn't really tell if you were winning or if you were losing or when do you know that you actually made it happen so we're gonna qualify our goals a little bit and we're gonna say hey we don't want to have more money how do we how do we want to have more money do you want to start a savings account so you can buy a house do you want to do you have a house and you want to start paying it off do you want to start putting money and savings so you can start investing if you want to lose weight do you want to lose 10 pounds this year is that the big win if we don't know what the big win is how do we know that we won and then we have to write it down you know in the Bible it says it is written when Jesus faced off with the enemy he knew who he was he knew what he was and he knew what he was here for and he referenced every time it is written you're a child of the Most High King you're here for a purpose and he's here to empower you to help you reach your goals and that's what I'm here to help you do as well so you can't get there overnight you can't you can't change your destination overnight you can change your direction and that's what we're doing right now so right now right down seven to ten goals that you can quantify that you can qualify because we can't continue to do what we've been doing and get dissatisfied and look around and continue do the same things and and wonder why we're not satisfied we've got to do something different Lou Holtz says if you're bored with life you don't have enough goals [Music] what happens your future then looking like in your head that it should be looking like transform change be changed how how are we changed the scripture says by the renewing of our mind by learning what we don't know by getting the information we didn't have by having revelation on our spirits that hasn't been revealed prior so how do we get changed by the renewing of our mind my people perish for a lack of knowledge and here's the next step that we're gonna do to get the vision and the make it plain well I actually give you a free download on my website if you want to open that window up and go to Nicole Krang calm I've got a free download for you and it's 30 days with quotes it's 30 days with scriptures it's 30 days of downloads that here's what you're gonna do with it you're gonna write down your seven to ten goals once a day every day for thirty days without looking back at what you wrote it's okay if you forget one it's okay if you forget the wording it's okay if you ever get the gist you wrote them down once now every day I'm gonna say it again every day for 30 days you can use your own notebook you can use your own journal or you can use the things that I provide for you so it makes it cute and fun you can't look back at the past can't look no looking no peeking and write down those same seven to ten goals further that's the question we're gonna answer with our goals so we're gonna ask ourselves and then we're gonna turn around we're gonna ask God what a better place to meet with God than his church because you see man has his pursuits but God directs the steps man makes plans but God directs the path right so we're gonna say oh here's what I want to do god this is what I want to do and then we're gonna check with him and make sure it's what he wants us to do how many of you know outside of God's will for your life there's leprosy if you're not sure about that just ask aJE's I that's how he got it he got sat outside of his call he was wanting to be Elijah but instead he was Gaza so he put on the clothes of the leper that he should have never received cuz a man a gun didn't receive it but leprosy was in the course that he put on but that's another story so there's leprosy outside the call so we asked one question what would it take for this to be the most amazing year in my life and then two we chat with God and then we start writing down these goals and you'll notice as you start writing the goals you're gonna feel a little bit different and that's because as you start writing goals it's proven scientifically that your heart rate goes up and your blood pressure increases why does that happen because the Spirit on the inside of you starts getting excited knowing what's gonna happen matter of fact JCPenney who is a good Christian man he said if you give me a stock clerk with a goal I'll show you a man that's gonna make history he said but if you give me a man but has no goal well I'll show you a stock clerk you see I love that quote because it proves that it doesn't matter where you start I'm gonna say that again because there's a bunch you need to write that down I like that quote because it proves it doesn't matter where you start it doesn't matter what happened to you it doesn't matter what happened because of you it doesn't matter what zip code you're in it doesn't matter whether or not you got your GED it doesn't matter whether or not you got accepted to college it doesn't matter whether or not they left you whether or not they passed over you for the promotion I'm telling you right now it doesn't matter where you start you can't change your destination in a day but you can't change your direction after 30 days that's when we're gonna really take that vision to the next level and that's when we get out the magazines that's when we do some Photoshop that's when we get some fun pictures on the internet and this is one of my vision boards and I'm sharing some of my vision with you I'm not getting too crazy here but are you getting pretty crazy but just watch how things work you know I've never preached in an arena before and I put up this picture last year to preach in an arena a non-christian arena it's sure enough I'm preaching to 7,000 women at a women's conference in an arena I saw it I hung it in my office I looked at it every day and look what God has done he's given me what I was believing for I was believing God that hola Dios I wrote a book called hot God it's me again and I was believing that the Spanish version of it was going to go into some unreached Spanish peoples and was going to ensuring that the doors to Cuba have opened to us we're meeting with 1500 pastors and hey God hola vo so your event is being distributed to all of their churches we put it here and look what God made happen we've got some vision things for missions that are happening and this is one of my favorite ones I have to show you this one hold on we're gonna hold that up for just a second I want you to see this this is me and Oprah I want you to see it so much that you're able to be it and I want you to start with organizing what you see organize what you have you know actually my closet and if my house is a mess my closet was organized and here's why I do that I get ready in my closet I go in there and I pick out my clothes if my closet is a mess I feel like my life is a mess but when I get ready in the morning even if the coffee pots fall a three-day-old coffee even if the bed is not made even if it looks like my house is such a wreck it's been ransacked and I think I've been robbed if I can get in my closet it's a small controlled area that's market and I can begin organizing my thoughts organizing so that's what I'm trying to get you to do organize your goals write them down write them down for 30 days for not looking back and when you're done with that start picking out some pictures start cutting some things out of magazines start putting them on a vision board and look at them every single day because when the vision is clear the results appear see what you're writing down today is your goal and that's gonna give us our plan to get there well I don't know about plans I don't know if we should make plans I don't know whether these plans are too good well Jeremiah 29:11 says I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord Almighty plans to prosper you could I put on goals about my financial future plans to prosper you and not to harm you could I put plans about my health this guy wants good things for me not to harm you plans to give you a hope and a future God's got plan so we should have plans if we're gonna have the plans we need the goals how do we get the goals here's four things number one you're only going to write a few goals well why I have 10 spiritual goals I have 10 financial goals I have 10 personal goals I have 10 relational goals I have 10 vacation goals I have 10 recreation goals I got 10 plans for my kids I got 10 plans for my dog and I got 10 plans for my plan I've done stuff like that before but they've done Studies on it and they say that when you chase too many rabbits you'll lose all the rabbits so the study that's been done says if you write 7 to 10 goals it allows us to narrow the focus so that we can achieve what God wants us to achieve so that's why there's 10 spaces on the back your boats and you don't have to fill it up but I want to challenge you to put down at least 7 so number one you're only gonna ride in a few number two you're gonna rat them quickly you're gonna write them quickly you see they say that you should take no more than three minutes when writing your goals why because any longer than that you start talking yourself out of them you start well I could never do that well that's really ambitious and I'm not really sure about no no no no no three minutes that's why I want you to write your goals in church today well you're in the sound of my voice you just ask the question what would it take for this to be the most amazing year of my life God are you good with it I feel peace in my heart no I feel kind of upset okay God we're gonna pass on the upset we're gonna go with the peace and then we're going to write them down here's number three number one only write a few number two right on quickly number three write them in the past tense write them in the past tense why well second Corinthians 5:7 says we walk by faith and not by sight we're speaking faith words we're thinking faith thoughts and it leads the heart out of defeat and into victory every time we don't talk about it as if one day it could happen we speak about it as it already has [Applause] [Music] did you know there's immense power in simply not quitting not given up staying in the game going into the last round and when you don't see things changing still going commitment I know some people are a little nervous about marriage because it's a commitment people don't like to sign long-term contracts because of commitment Here I am talking to you about commitment don't freak out it's gonna be all right matter of fact I have faith that you won't give up do you know that there's a lot of rewards that come with commitment you might be thinking right now I don't know if I can make it through this I don't know it's getting hard I don't know I'm not seeing anything happen this is the part I want you to write down if it seems slow this is Scripture if it seems slow wait for it it'll surely come well not the way it's on the way did you know God's working for you behind the scenes right now he's making a way where there seems to be no way it says in Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me he's got plans for you there for good and not for evil to bring you to an expected end it wasn't your plan you prayed about it it's God's plan you can see it through there is power and simply not quitting you see 25% of people give up on a New Year's resolution or a vague goal within the first week 60% of the rest of the people who have these vague goals and these kind of unformed resolutions they give up within the first six months well I just knew it ed that's why I should we shouldn't even come to church today we're just looking at something that Ray's gonna quit anyway don't even write it down ed don't waste your time it's not for us anyway we're to like it's a peephole no this is not the product but this is not the posture that we're supposed to have you know the enemy's trying to give you every reason why this doesn't apply to you I'm here to tell you if you are 75 years old you've got more urgency to write your goals than ever because you need to be coming up with a legacy plan who's next who's following you how have you set them up to succeed and what have you done for them and write your goals around that you want to be worth its rewards day comes after commitment a commitment there's no the one nobody wants but everybody wants rewards day but you can't get the rewards without the commitment and I'm so proud of you you've made it you might be thinking why are you in slept pants that is so weird who does motivational talks and goals talks and sweatpants well I do because it's my reward did that talk that you can go back and see and how to live your best life ever on goals and vision and I've been inspiring you we've been doing to the goals worksheets it's time to reward ourselves you know you're already a bigger success than you think you are you're already further along than you give yourself credit for that's why every now and then this is important stop and write this part down every now and then you have to stop and celebrate where you are on the way to where you're going that's what it reward is that's what a vacation is that's what a trip is that's what a staycation is it's even what a Ghirardelli chocolate is to a girl on diet have you been saving and you you'd invest in some money that's awesome so when you save so much money say that's the day we get to go buy the curtains I don't know what these rewards are that are good for you rewards don't have to cost money sweat stay doesn't cost money I want you to celebrate winning the small battles on the way to winning the war celebrate each battle celebrate each victory decide what a victory is so here's your steps decide what a victory is are you losing 15 pounds every five pounds celebrate have a sundae if you're trying to lose weight lose weight on six days and have a cheat day on the seventh day if you're trying to save up make markers every thousand dollars you spend you get to spend $50 on a dinner what are you trying to get to and where can you plan a celebration along the way it's gonna keep you happy it's gonna keep you excited
