PERSONAL PROGRESS GOAL PLANNER 2017 Follow these three steps for an amazing 2017! In the following packet, you will receive a page or more for each of these steps. Complete them in the following order and refer to this instructional page when needed. Reflect: Think of what you did for personal progress last year. Think of what you completed and what you wish you had completed. This is a time to write down everything you are satisfied with and that which you can improve in. Plan: Now that you have an idea of how you can improve and possible goals you can set, write those goals down. They do not have to be elaborate, and maybe you will only write down finish two experiences. If that is an improvement from last year, then that is a great goal! After you write down a more general goal, make it specific. Say what experiences and when you plan to do them. Do: Once you have a plan it is time to start and finish them. Give yourself reminders, motivate yourself, and go! There is only one page for this but print out as many as you need. May I invite you to rise to the great potential within you. But don t reach beyond your capacity. Don t set goals beyond your capacity. Don t set goals beyond your capacity to achieve. Don t feel guilty or dwell on thoughts of failure. Don t compare yourself with others. Do the best you can, and the Lord will provide the rest. Dieter F. Uchtdorf 1
