Set Specific Goals
”The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways.” Proverbs 14:8
Prudence is the ability to anticipate the future. Prudence is discernment for direction. One of the key principles to increase is the ability to decide what you really want, then sow the specific Seed of God’s Word toward the determined harvest.
In 1952, the prominent Yale University discovered that only three out of one hundred graduates had written down a clear list of goals. Ten years later, their follow-up study showed that 3 percent of the graduating class had accomplished more financially than the remaining 97 percent of the class.
The prophet Habakkuk said, “Write the vision, and make it clear…”
Until you know what you want, you will never discover how to accomplish it.
