设定明确的人生目标

Aug 10, 2024

“直奔目标,要赢得上帝借着基督耶稣从天上呼召我去得的奖赏。”(腓立比书3:14)

《生活》杂志在1972年发表了有关约翰·戈达德(John Goddard)惊人冒险的故事。他15岁时,祖母对他说:“如果我在年轻时能实现那个目标就好了!”约翰下定决心,在他垂暮之年绝不说如此遗憾之语,于是写下了127个目标。其间他列出了想要探索的10条河流和攀登的17座山峰的名字。他设定目标要成为雄鹰童子军、世界旅行家、飞行员。他的目标清单中还包括了在玫瑰碗游行(the Rose Bowl parade)中骑马,在潜水艇里潜水,追溯马可·波罗的旅行路线,通读《圣经》,并阅读全卷《大英百科全书》。他还计划阅读莎士比亚、柏拉图、狄更斯、苏格拉底、亚里斯多德及其他几位经典作家的全部作品。他想学会吹长笛和拉小提琴,渴望结婚、生养儿女(他有五个),希望从事医学职业并在教会当宣教士。听起来似乎不可企及?四十七岁时,他已经完成了127个目标当中的103个!你的目标可能不像他的那么宽泛,但是,倘若你不为自己设定一些人生目标,那么每天早上你就没有什么动力起床,每晚躺卧时,也难有满足感。除非尝试一些超越自己精通娴熟的事物,否则你就不会成长。因此,在祷告中设定目标,靠着上帝的帮助,每天都朝着目标努力。
