FAMILY DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS

By Dr James Dobson

When it comes to our jobs or our personal lives, many of us have specific goals regarding where we'd like to be in 10 or 20 years.

But have we put that same thought into our family's future?

Someone once said: "If you aim at nothing, you're bound to hit it."

That's why it's important to set clear goals in every area of life — including your family. Take some time to write out a statement of "family dreams and aspirations".

Take inventory of where you've been, where you are, and where you want to be in 10 years. Then decide what you need to do in order to reach that goal.

Make sure the entire family is involved in the process. Then commit to making the needed changes and sacrifices along the way.

Mobilise your family for greatness, and see just how far it takes you.
