> 'Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and

> NIV ). Goal setting takes time, discipline, courage and perseverance. 
> Between you and your goal there'll be roadblocks, enemy attacks and 
> temptations designed to derail you. "So, what should I do?" (a) Talk to 
> God. Get into agreement with His will for you. (b) Write your goals down. 
> The shorest pencil is better than the

> everything you'll accomplish nothing. Remember, a big success is simply 
> several little success strung together. (d) Be alert to those God sends 
> into your life to help you fulfill His purposes. Draw on the wisdom of 
> experienced people, stand on their shoulders. Even your critics can 
> sharpen you. God has plan for your life-seek Him and He'll reveal it to
