Have you ever made a wish? Did it come true? Have you ever set a goal and reached it? Or dreamt something and saw it come to pass? This week we’re talking about all three of those things and how they relate to canvassing and everyday life.

Wishes, Goals, & Dreams

 

Wishes: something you desire to happen without any specific actions on your part.

 

Goals: something that can be measured and achieved within a certain time frame.

 

Dreams: something you desire to become, or something you’d like to see in life that lasts forever, or for the long term.

 

The #1 Goal of the canvasser is that your faith will grow. It doesn’t matter how many books you get out, how much money you make, or how well your van does as a leader. Are these things great and worth achieving? Absolutely! I believe we should always be striving to do better each day. However, if that becomes your focus, you are bound to fail and burn out. What matters most as you set goals, and dream is that God is developing your faith in the process. The more faith you have, the better your canvassing experience will be. So the next time you go out and canvass, before you set your book goal, or your van goal, ask God to develop your faith, and you will be surprised at what He will do for you.

 

“The secret of success is the union of divine power with human effort.” CM 106.2

 

“Success in any line demands a definite aim. He who would achieve true success in life must keep steadily in view the aim worthy of his endeavor. Such an aim is set before the youth of today. The heaven-appointed purpose of giving the gospel to the world in this generation is the noblest that can appeal to any human being. It opens a field of effort to everyone whose heart Christ has touched.” Ed 262.1
