-Three Categories are presented, but you can choose your own categories or Goal areas.

-Only four spaces are given, more than four goals will probably be hard to realistically achieve. Focus.

-This is an opportunity for you to prayerfully vision for the coming year, take it as an opportunity.

-Revisit it at least quarterly if not monthly. Post it somewhere you can see it regularly.
