Goal setting
Yesterday I met with my manager to go over my goals for 2016, an annual employee requirement of the company. These goals mirror the ones set for me in 2015, when I re-started my job. In fact, they nearly mirror the ones I had when I worked there before in 2008. I’m pleased that most of the goals are being implemented and I’m on track for a successful year.

Our goals and evaluations at work are an expected reality, but what about our personal and private goals? Just as we are encouraged to change our smoke alarm batteries when we change our clocks bi-annually, so perhaps we should update and check how well we are meeting our goals.

Be it financial, relationships, health and fitness, spiritual, mental or whatever, we should, I think take the role of both manager and employee. First we must set them, accept them, implement and monitor them, and in a specified time, evaluate those we’ve met and those we still need to work on.

Given the Holy week we are worshipping and celebrating, perhaps this would be a good one to start with. “My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, so I may know the resurrection from the dead.” Philippians 3:10
