Moving Forward Well

Moving Forward Well 

 

Road Forward ConceptLife is always on the go. It is always moving forward. Sometimes the moving forward is not what and how people expected it to be but they are left with no choice but to accept the reality. Nevertheless, they have moved from one side to the other side or shall I say from one level to another level in life.

Life is also dynamic. Everything is changing. Nothing is stagnant, everything is evolving, transforming to become better, though there are people who changed to a not-so-good situation in life. At one point in life the person is like this, then suddenly, waking up one day never to be the same again. Perspective changes, attitude changes, responsibilities changes and of course, the physical and emotional aspect also changes.

Looking at it deeper, when we say that life is always on the go, it means that there is a goal that serves us, a motivation why an goal planindividual should move from one place to where he wants to be. In other words, there is something in the future that is hoped to be achieved, desired to be done. We call this a person’s goals and plans in life.
On the other hand, when we say life is dynamic, we mean that we are working towards a goal, something is being acquired – a life principle, a life lesson or new thing in life – and the goal acquired could either make the person better or worse. But in most cases, it is always for the good of life.

In order for an individual to be moving forward well, he or she must set goals in life. Goals serves as a guide to what is to be achieved in the future; moreover, it directs a person to what successes does he or she desires in life. It is always because of goals why people move forward, on the go, and want to achieve their set goals. Here are some suggestions that would help a person move forward well considering goals in life. These are life-changing principles that when being practiced in real life, it will help the individual change as he achieve his or her goals in life.

design your lifeThe first thing a person must do is to understand the plan. The rich and thorough understanding about the desires and plan will enable a person develop proper responses and proper accountability. Sometimes we don’t understand why things happen in our lives because what is happening actually is not what we wanted in the first place. We need to understand that there is already a plan being set for us not according to our knowledge but always according to God’s complete knowledge and understanding. Remember that there are many plans about success, fulfillment, finances and even destinations but most of the time it comes from us. That is why by setting our goals we need to understand that even though we plan, set goals, yet God purposes will always happens in us.

The second thing a person must do is to understand the power. There is a popular song for children that has been sung during the 80’s that goes like this, “I am a promise, I am a possibility, I am a promise with a capital “P”. I am a great, big bundle of potentiality.” Looking at this line, the song uses the words, promise, possibility, and potentiality. Three great powerful words that mean one thing – that alongside the plan that has been set for us, God has promised us that it is possible to achieve the goal for us individuals with potential. That is the power. In other words, as we set our goals and ready to pursue them, we should not be tired or weary or discouraged because of the potential and possibility within us. We can achieve what we want to do in life.

The third thing a person must do is to understand the prize. This is the most difficult part of what people want. The prize tells us road to successwhat a person must do to achieve his or her goals. In order to achieve the goals, there has to be a requirement of perseverance, dedication, hard work, determination and patience. They need to understand that as success is already at hand yet, they need to work for it. Sometimes it can be painful because of decisions that lead to failures but just as what has been said, we learn and grow from this as we move forward to the goals and success.

A father one day told his son that if he has a goal, he needs to work out a plan to achieve his goal. Life is definitely moving from one level to another, life is achieving goals in life. As you set your life’s goals, remember to understand the plan, the power and the prize. Just don’t forget one thing – don’t stop moving forward.
