Spiritual Goal Setting

This was an older post... in fact it is one of my first posts. I decided to re-post it because it is in line with things I am still considering: namely, how can I be more intentional about growing and maturing in Christ? Sometimes I feel like I would like to change the whole world and everyone in it. However, there is only one person I can sufficiently change: me... Setting good, godly goals is one way to do that.

I was just looking through an old journal today and found an entry that talked about setting goals. I thought it was interesting for where I am in life now.

Here is the list of ways to set spiritual goals:
1. Spiritual Journey
Cultivate your inner life by practicing the spiritual disciplines.
2. Kingdom Vocation
How am I intentionally ordering my life for the purpose of advancing God's Kingdom?
3. Intellectual Disciplines
Read a book a month, at least
4. Relationships
Jesus' life revolved more around relationships rather than organizations; he simply enjoyed time with His Father and others
5. Creative Disciplines
Celebrate life creatively through the arts, hospitality, gardening
6. Physical disciplines
Illness is often the consequence of lifestyle choices: food choices, exercise or lack thereof
7. Use of time and money
Get out of debt
How can I free up more time and money for Kingdom work?
