Last Friday, Donald Miller wrote a post titled "Commit to the Work, Not the Goals". I love his short posts. They are so full of wisdom...and common sense.
Truthfully, some of the goals on my 30x30 list will never get done if it's just a goal. I need to break them down into manageable steps. And I need to commit to the steps.
Having something published? I need to write every week. And I need to do some research about avenues for publishing.
Run 6 miles? Well, hello...I need to start by running a little at least 3 times a week.
Memorize 1 John? I need to start by memorizing 1 John 1:1. And then 1:2, 1:3, 1:4...You get the idea.
Goals look great in a list. But it is so easy to feel warm and fuzzy about a list and never actually take steps to getting those things done.
