Reaching Goals

It is not enough to take steps which may someday lead to a goal; each step must be itself a goal and a step likewise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Sometimes I think to myself, does this even matter? I get so frustrated with activities or classes or homework and I just want to quit. But then I remember my goal I've set for myself -- I want to achieve it and I've come this far so I cannot quit. Every day is a new day closer to the goal I've already achieved and I think about my future goals every day.  Every thing we do is a step in a direction, and we won't know which direction we are going until we get there. Remember that every action has a reaction. Think through your actions before you implement them.

Today's Prayer
Dear God,
Thank you for bringing us together for another day. Remind us daily that our actions are steps to the future goals we have made for ourselves. Help us to think before we speak and act, help us to plan ahead. Show us which goals are worthy of our time and effort. Above all, continue to watch over us and our loved ones.
Amen
