Put Intentionality and Planning Into Your New Year Resolution
It’s no secret that New Year resolutions often fall by the wayside after a few weeks. This is because we often make vague and unrealistic resolutions without proper planning. But by taking the time to create a specific and achievable plan, we’re more likely to stick to our resolutions and see them through. This year I want to encourage you to do more than make a resolution, make it with intentionality in mind and plan it out carefully.
To help you accomplish this, I want to give you 25 questions to help you look back with clarity and move forward with confidence in 2025. Use these questions to prayerfully reflect and create a clear vision for the new year that will impact your life, faith, and leadership.
Here’s your 25 for 2025!
