As I write this, fireworks are going off outside our window. From the middle of December until January 2 - people shoot off fireworks - and not like we have in the States. It is a full fledged fireworks display - like professionals. It is a very big deal here.
Today in Church, I was so relaxed and filled with such peace. It has been a long time since I have felt that calm. Sebastian spoke about setting goals. He said that there are 3 "P's" for setting goals.
Prioritize: Decide what your wants are and then decide which are most important to you.
Plan: Set up a plan to follow to help you gain the success you want, whether it is to say your prayers everyday or lose weight. Without a plan, you will have no success
Put into Practice: The final way to be successful is to simply 'do it'. When you start saying your prayers or working out - you will feel good about moving forward. That should keep you motivated to continue.
I don't set my goals in January. For the last 10 or 15 years, I have been setting my goals in April and October, when General Conference occurs. From those inspirational messages, I choose my goals. One of my current goals is to make the Sacrament a more meaningful experience. It is becoming a very special part of my Sabbath.
