Commitment vs. Motivation

A steady flame glowing brightly in the dark, symbolizing commitment and resilience as the fuel for progress.

Commitment is the foundation of progress. While motivation may spark your journey, it is your commitment that ensures you keep going. ‘Let your yes be yes, and your no, no.’ – Matthew 5:37.

Breaking Goals into Steps

A forest path with a wooden staircase winding up a hillside, surrounded by vibrant green trees and sunlight streaming through the canopy, symbolizing progress and the journey of taking small, intentional steps.

Big dreams become achievable when broken into small, faithful steps. Trust the Lord to guide your path and take it one step at a time. ‘The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.’ – Psalm 37:23.

Why Goals Matter

Goals are the foundation of a purposeful life. Just as the sunrise brings clarity to the day, your ‘why’ illuminates the path ahead. Begin with vision and watch how your steps align with purpose. ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish.’ – Proverbs 29:18.
