#155 - Goals are Important Steps Toward Your Inspiring Vision

“A goal is a specific event that once achieved, becomes a piece of history to be superseded by a new goal. A vision or view of the future is an ongoing, evolving, hopeful look into the future that stirs the hearts and minds of people who know they will never see it’s end or limit.”  – Ken Blanchard, Lead Like Jesus Revisited

 Jesus had goals and a vision.

The goals were simple steps. Go two by two into each town; have people sit down in the green grass and pass this food around; follow me; come and see; go borrow the donkey; and on and on. As each goal was accomplished, it became part of the story and they moved on to the next thing that may happen.

The vision was ongoing. Jesus had a vision for the kingdom. He spoke about his Father and the kingdom of God. He modeled a vision of listening to the Father’s every word and acting on it. He lived into the vision of focusing on individuals, caring for the lost, and showing God’s love to the world.

Goals are steps in the process. The vision is the overriding picture that motivates and calls us to invest.
