Session 2: “I’m Gonna” — Doing takes you where talking won’t.
We all love to talk about what we’re going to do. Maybe you plan to get your grades up or make varsity this year. Maybe you’re going to finally clean out your room or
finish the history paper that’s still sitting on your desk. The problem is that when it comes to our future, there’s a big difference between wanting to do something and actually doing it. We can all think of one or two things we have been wanting to accomplish but can’t quite seem to get to the finish line. It’s not that we’re lazy or bad people. We just have a lot going on, and it’s easy to get distracted. Add a few of those unfinished projects together and it starts
to feel overwhelming. We’re even less motivated to get started. It’s a cycle. Maybe that’s why the book of Proverbs gives us some good advice making sure the things we want to do actually happen. Through the wise words of King Solomon, we find that, though it won’t be easy, the key to reaching our goals may be as simple as taking one step at a time.
