Pray: For God’s will within your life/ To guide your steps/ Whether He wants you to “be” (with Him) or “do” (His will) at this time/ Ask him about particular situations & decisions. Then listen for His response.
Align: Do your ideas/ plans/ goals align with God’s word? If you don’t know, research in the Holy Bible. Speak to church elders/ leaders.
Peace: Do you experience the peace of the Holy Spirit around your ideas/ plans/ goals?
Assessable: How can you track your progress? How many? How often?
Specific: Narrow down using the five “W” questions;
What do you want to achieve? Why do you want to achieve it? Where is it located? Who is/could be involved? Which resources can be used or which limitations might occur?
Attainable: Your goals need to be realistic but also should stretch your in your capabilities
Relevant: Are they relevant to the current season (day/ week/month). Is it worth your time? Are you the right person for the task/ idea/ plan/ goal?
Timely: Have a deadline, without a deadline people are less likely to complete their goals.
