Where there is no vision, the people perish.' Proverbs

What are you planning to do with this New Year? What you
set your heart on will determine how you spend your time and energy. And it
takes as much effort to live an unfulfilled life as a richly rewarding one.
Some scientists have recently estimated that the human brain has between 10 and
100 terabytes of capacity, which means we all have lots of room for growth. One
of the most rewarding things you can do this year is work to develop your mind.
‘Where there is no vision [sense of direction], the people perish.’
Dissatisfaction doesn’t come from the absence of things,
but the absence of direction. Too many of us merely exist because we’ve settled
for less than God intended. The quality of your life will be determined by your
vision and the effort you’re willing to put into fulfilling it. So stop and
make a written list of the areas where you’d like to grow this year, then
tackle the three or four most important ones. Don’t get discouraged if the one
you’re working on doesn’t want to co-operate; nothing great is ever created
suddenly.
Paul said of his faith, ‘ I press on toward the goal for
the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. ’ (Philippians 3:14 ESV)
It’s a process; you have to keep plugging away. Some days it’ll feel like two
steps forward and three steps backward. But don’t give up. It’s better to die
for something than to live for nothing! And unless you try something beyond
what you’ve already mastered, you won’t grow.
So what are you waiting for?
Life? It’s waiting for you—so get going!

Have a very splendid year!
