We are all designed for a bigger purpose, certain things individually unique to us. God has a plan for each of us, but sometimes we tune them out, don’t we?
I bet you’ve already had a lot of accomplishments in your life, even if you don’t think so. But maybe you’re at a point in your life where you feel stuck. Maybe busyness is distracting you. Maybe you’re believing a lie that’s keeping you held back. Maybe it’s fear.
Those last two are big ones for me.
Here is some good news, though. What if getting unstuck was easier than you thought? It is, my friend. But first, you need to ask yourself three powerful questions.

Today is the Day to Dream Big
This year is reaching an end. That means we get to spend some time reflecting and dreaming about the possibilities for next year.
Is this the year your marriage is going to be more solid than ever before? Is this the year you’re going to finally lose those unwanted pounds and take control of your health? Finally go back to school and finish the degree you started?
Maybe this is the year you reconnect with old friends and build new relationships. Will you finally write that book that’s been stirring inside of you? Chase after the dream job you’ve always wanted? Perhaps this is the year you’ll pay off those nagging debts lingering over your head.
Whatever the case, I believe without a doubt, this can be your year. A year full of victories.
But…. these things won’t happen if you simply write up a New Year’s Resolution and hope for the best.
Dreaming is Only Half the Work
Making progress toward goals that matter in your life requires two things: the right intention and a proven plan. Trusting in what we simply want to accomplish doesn’t work. Without a plan, the busyness of life gets in the way and we’re right back where we started – disappointed and defeated.
My virtual mentor, Michael Hyatt, goal-setting expert, New York Times bestselling author, and leadership guru, just released his free new video series, Design Your Life: A Proven System to Stop Drifting and Finally Achieve Your Best Year Ever, and it’s rocking my world. I’ve watched it twice already!
I used to dream of being healthy. I desperately wanted to be like everyone else – to fit in, literally. At 25 years old I weighed 330 lbs. I couldn’t even buy my pants online. They were size 30 by the way.
My health was declining. My relationships were struggling. My job. My faith. Everything around me was falling apart.
The problem? I was trying to fix everything myself without a plan. Instead, everything around me was falling apart, including me. I literally wound up in the hospital.
Can you relate? Have you ever realized the life you’re living isn’t actually the one you were designed to live? The life God has planned for you?
I was settling in life. Settling for a life of second best. My dreams were dying. Until… I started focusing on taking the next right step.
You know what it started with? A walk around the apartment complex. One day my friend Jennifer recommended I take a walk. I had nothing to lose. I was already at the bottom. So I did. Then the next day I went again. Then again.
That walk around the apartment complex turned into walking a mile a day, then two, then running my first 5k. Learning to take the next right step in my journey resulted in a 145 lb. weight loss.
Today every area of my life has improved. I believe taking that first step that day around the apartment complex was a pivotal moment in landing me where I am today. Why? For the first time in my life, I had achieved something. I had pushed through, set goals, and found the determination I’d been lacking for so long.
Today my life is more exciting than it’s ever been. I’m accomplishing more than I ever could have imagined possible.
You Get to Redesign Your Life
In this new, three-part series by Michael, he’s going to equip you to take hold of the life God has designed for you and make this next year your best year ever.
You can watch the first video here. In the video, he shares three powerful questions to ask yourself, which will set you up for one of the most exiting years of your life.
Here’s what else you’ll discover:
- Three different approaches to life, and why only one will actually get you where you want to go.
- Why traditional New Year’s resolutions and the old way of goal-setting will set you up for failure.
- Why the old ways of doing things isn’t your fault.
- The one life we often tell ourselves to get us through the busyness of life instead of focusing on what really matters.
- How to overcome the failure of our past.
- Why it’s important to have clarity – plus a simple exercise to help us find it.
- How to overcome those overwhelming feelings, accomplish what is really important to us, and realize the true potential God has given us.
Here’s some encouragement, my friend. You don’t have to spend one more year doing the same things over and over again without different results. That’s the definition of insanity.
You were made for more and now is the time to start living out God’s best for you. This is your chance to enter a new year with courage, commitment, and the clarity you need to redesign your life, reach your full potential, and make this your best year ever.
It starts right here – with this first video – and answering those three powerful questions for yourself.

[reminder]What would your life look like if you could turn your dreams into reality?[/reminder]
Very motivational. Loved your personal testimony and how all it took was that walk around your apartment complex to get you going as far as your weight loss. I feel like a lot of my life is turning into reality and I don’t want the extra baggage. That’s what I’m determined to work on again. Having lost 45 pounds felt great. Gaining it back I lost respect for myself and started believing lies about me again. It’s so easy to look at the whole picture and not see the individual steps. And it’s the steps that will get us there.
You’re right, Anne. It’s the steps that will get us there. You and Jesus can totally do this!
