Deadlines
Desire without a deadline is simply a pipe dream. (Kary Oberbrunner, author and motivational speaker)
Not everyone is a dreamer, a person whose head always seems to be in the clouds. But almost everybody has a dream about something they want to accomplish. Few people seem to achieve their dreams, and Oberbrunner suggests a reason for many failures. Planning must not only have a starting point and a strategy, but it must have a deadline for completing the dream, too.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. (2 Timothy 4:7)
