I have concluded that mid-January is an excellent time to start a vision and set goals for the year. By now, you are positioned better to be realistic with the hype of a new year fading.

With the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the wisdom of experience, visualize the type of person you want to be months from now. Focus on characteristics that impact others – like kindness, friendliness, and consistency. As you see that God-inspired person in your future, you’ll find yourself moving toward that ideal as the year progresses.

Month by month. Day by day. Moment by moment. You are transforming into the image of the one who has called you.
