Where Are You Going?

In Alice in Wonderland, Alice says to the Chesire Cat, “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care,” replied Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” responded the Cat.

As with Alice, so it is with us. Without goals and objectives, we have nowhere to go and we’ll just keep wandering aimlessly. Many people make resolutions and goals. Goals give hope. Goals inspire and motivate. To wake up in the morning with a clear objective for the day adds so much more to life. To begin a day with no hope or inspiration makes for a long, dreary day.

The apostle Paul speaks of “pressing on toward the goal” in his New Testament letter to the Philippians (3:14). His goal was to be all that God wanted him to be. That’s not a bad goal for each of us.
