Just take look on this shocking statistics from a research that was carried out in USA.
In a research carried out in United States of America several years ago, the following were discovered.
• Only 13 per cent of the respondents had goals.
• 87 per cent of the respondents had no goals rather they are drifting aimlessly through life waiting for some favorable breaks that would never come.
• Among the 13 per cent that had goals, only 3 per cent had goals that were written down.
• 3 per cent who had their written down accomplished fifty to one hundred times more than the 10 per cent that had goals but did not write them down.
• All motivational 'gurus' agree that goals should be written down
• 92% of New Year’s goals fail by January 15th
• Only 3 out of every 100 adults write down their goals down on paper.
DO YOU KNOW THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO WRITE DOWN YOUR DESTINATION ON PAPER?
2 Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. (Habakkuk2:2-3).
Writing down your destination is a divine instruction. But it is shocking that only 3 percent of the world population is obeying this principle. This is why I said it is shocking despite the fact that written down goals has a high percentage of accomplishment than unwritten goals.
Do you really need to get things done faster and better? If your answer is yes, then you have to develop the culture of writing down things that you want to achieve.
THE BENEFITS OF WRITING DOWN WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE.
The moment you write down what you want to achieve, the following questions will pop-up and begin to beg you for attention.
- How am I going to achieve my goal?
- When will I achieve my goal?
- What will it cost me to achieve my goal?
- Place where I will achieve my goal?
- Resources that are needed to achieve the goal.
My advice to you is obey God and begin to write down the things you want to achieve on paper.
