it's important to have a goal

From an ARCHIVED FAMILY MINUTE - JUNE 08, 2011

What’s your dream?

Benjamin Mays, mentor to Dr. Martin Luther King, said "The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It isn't a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for." No matter how discouraging things may seem, either in the world around us, or in our own lives, it's important to have a goal… and to teach our children to set goals. 

Then press on, every day, to reach them, supporting each other as you go. You can use this helpful tool to chart your progress toward your goals once they've been set.
