Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…
Plan your work and work your plan. You may have heard that axiom before. I believe in setting goals.

Look ahead and see where you want to be in life: In your romantic relationship, in your family relationships, your career, your health and your spirituality.

Goals help you stay on course. Goals help you make decisions.

They are not meant to be inflexible. You can always change your goals as you get new information about the world and about yourself.

The best goals flow from a knowledge of yourself, from your values. Take a few moments this weekend to think about what you want for yourself. Everyone wants the best for themselves.

What does having the best mean to you.
 
What’s your goal for the weekend?
