Secrets To Achieving Your Goals in 2025 w/J. Rosemarie Francis

J. Rosemarie Francis (00:00)

What if you woke up tomorrow morning and it was still 2024? What if you had a do-over?

You know, I thinking about this the other day. What if I could redo 2024? Because there are many things I had planned that never happened. And there were many things that happened that I hadn't planned. For instance, I came to where I am for two weeks and I've been here almost seven months. So, you know, things don't always go the way we plan. So what are the goals and dreams and desires you hope to achieve?

in 2024 that you didn't get done and you're now wondering what's the point? What's the point in setting goals? What's the point in dreaming if you never seem to get them done? But hey, life happens, right? Life happens and you meet challenges and you're gonna get pushed back, but it doesn't mean you give up. I'm here to ask you, don't give up.

You know, it's funny that people who make New Year's resolution usually forget about them by mid January. As a matter of fact, there is a day in January called ditch your New Year's resolution day. Can you imagine that? So don't give up and don't have regrets either. Like, you know, don't wallow in regrets. I want to share three secrets with you that will help you achieve your goals in 2025.

Number one, the first secret is have a vision. Proverbs 28, 18 says, without a vision, the people perish. So have a vision for yourself. What do you want? You have to know that before you can go after what you want, right? The second secret I want to share is that you must write your vision down. Write your goals and dreams down.

down. It doesn't matter how far fetched it sounds to you, write them down. There is a reason it was put in your heart to write that, to think about what you want to achieve. Right? So write that down. What is it that you want to achieve in 2025? Abacup 2-3 says write the vision down and make it plain. So that's my

Secret number two, secret number three is to visualize those goals. You want to take a vacation in Thailand this year? Write that down. Visualize it. Cut out a photo of Thailand. Cut out a photo of the place you'd like to stay in Thailand.

Visualize it and then the final phase, believe. Believe it can happen. Believe it will happen. And finally, I want to leave you with an encouragement. If you are living in a sea of regret because you didn't get what you want, you didn't achieve your goals or things just didn't work out the way you planned.

this year. I want to remind you of a promise. Isaiah 40-31. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as eagles. They shall run and not be weary. And they shall walk and not faint. These episodes have been different from the ones I usually do.

But this is me. This is real me coming out. So I want to encourage you today. Hoping the Lord set your goal, have a vision for yourself, visualize and believe. And one final part to setting goals and achieving them is have someone to hold you accountable. Someone without any ulterior motive.
