How to Make a Book of Goals

Everyday we are bombarded by negative news about what’s been happening in our country and all over the world. News about economic downtrends, increasing poverty, crisis and killings are our morning fare and give us a depressing outlook in life. 

We can still dream big and set goals to achieve despite the present grim economic outlook. Throw out the bleak outlook and look forward to the bright future ahead. A great tool for this is your Book of Goals. Visualize yourself achieving your goals with this simple scrapbook filled with pictures of your goals.  

Steps:

1. Write down your list of your goals and dream. Don’t be stingy with your goals. (FTW!).
2. Look for your best photo, have it photocopied, and cut it out.
3. Look for pictures in magazines, brochures, newspapers that are related to your goals and dreams.
4. Cut these pictures out and put your photo inside each one (for example, if you have a cut-out of the condo unit that you aim to own, stick your photo inside or beside it).
5. Write down quotations or bible verses that will help inspire and empower you to reach your goals in bright colored paper (you could write “I’m climbing my mountain one step at a time…” or "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" from Philippians 4:13).
6. Stick or paste all these pictures together with the inspiring quotes you have written in a scrapbook or even just a simple notebook. Make it colorful by decorating it with ribbons, cute scrapbook cutouts and colored paper.
7. Every morning, open your book of goals and reaffirm your goals.
