MID-YEAR GOALS REVIEW: HOW ARE YOUR GOALS COMING ALONG?

-

We’re halfway through the year, can you believe it? Six months ago, many of us were fired up, armed with vision boards, planners, and fresh motivation. But now that the New Year's excitement has faded, it’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and ask: How are your goals coming along?

1. Revisit Your January Vision
Take a moment to review what you set out to achieve at the start of the year. What goals did you write down? Which ones have you made progress on? Which ones have you forgotten or pushed to the side?

It’s not about judgment, it’s about awareness. Life happens, plans shift, and priorities evolve. The point is not perfection, but progress.

2. Celebrate the Wins-Big and Small
Before diving into what’s left to do, celebrate what you have done. Maybe you started a new habit, finished a project, or simply made more intentional choices in your daily life. Acknowledging small wins fuels momentum and reminds you that you’re capable of more.
"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." – Robert Collier

3. Adjust, Don’t Abandon
If certain goals feel out of reach, don’t toss them aside; tweak them. Ask yourself:
Is this goal still relevant?
What’s been getting in the way?
Can I break it down into smaller steps?
Do I need help, accountability, or a new strategy?
It’s okay to shift direction. Clarity often comes through action, even imperfect action.

4. Set a Fresh Focus for the Next Six Months
Use this mid-year checkpoint to reset your focus. Choose 1–3 goals to prioritize between now and the end of the year. These could be carry-overs from January or entirely new goals that align better with your current situation.

Start small. Build momentum. Keep showing up.

5. Build in Check-Ins
Don’t wait until December to reflect again. Set monthly or even weekly check-ins with yourself to assess your progress and realign as needed. This keeps your goals in sight and helps you stay intentional rather than reactive.

A mid-year review isn’t about guilt; it’s about growth. Whether you're on track, ahead, or completely off course, you have the power to choose what the rest of your year looks like.

So, how are your goals coming along, and more importantly, how will you move forward from here?

Happy New Month!

Keep Birthing Possibilities.

THE SOURCE OF JOY

Joy is a presence that remains steady even when nothing around you feels steady. Happiness depends on what happens; joy depends on Who you’re anchored in. When David wrote, “In Your presence is fullness of joy” (Psalm 16:11), he wasn’t describing a passing feeling. He was pointing us to a Person.  Joy Comes From Alignment, Not Achievement Sometimes we believe joy is a reward for reaching a certain level of success or spiritual maturity. But joy isn’t found at the finish line. It’s found in alignment- when your heart, your steps, and your purpose lean into God’s will. You can have a long to-do list and still experience joy. You can be in a season of pruning and still walk in joy. You can be waiting, trusting, hoping, and still carry joy. Why? Because joy is produced when your soul knows you are held. Joy Thrives Where Gratitude Lives Joy and gratitude are siblings. They flourish together. Gratitude keeps your eyes on what God is doing, not what seems delayed. It re-teaches...

WHAT'S TRENDING?

We are witnessing a season where old posts are resurfacing, and careers are shaking. Appointments are being reconsidered. Partnerships are being withdrawn. Public trust is being questioned. What changed? Time. Maturity changed. Context changed. Standards changed. But the digital footprint remained. The words you released into cyberspace were seeds. And seeds, whether good or bad, eventually grow. Some grow into influence. Others grow into consequences. A common defense is: “That post does not reflect who I truly am.” Fair enough. People grow. People evolve. We all have chapters we would rather not re-read. But if someone consistently posts degrading humor, insensitive commentary, reckless opinions, or harmful narratives over time, can it truly be dismissed as acting? At what point does repeated behavior become identity? Character is not what you claim in interviews. Character is the pattern of what you repeatedly practice. You cannot consistently publish darkness and expect peop...

WAITING WARS

After watching the movie "Waiting Wars" by Gloria Bamiloye, you find tthat there is the faith that makes noise and there is the faith that remains when the noise fades. The kind that survives unanswered questions. The kind that keeps showing up long after the excitement has worn off. The kind that does not collapse when feelings fluctuate. Because if we are honest, starting is not the hardest part of the journey. Sustaining is. Anyone can believe boldly when doors are opening. Anyone can testify when prayers are answered quickly. But what about when obedience stretches longer than expected? When clarity doesn’t come on schedule? When growth feels invisible? That is where lasting faith is formed.  Hebrews 11 speaks of those who endured, who ran their race with perseverance, who were described as steadfast, immovable, always abounding. That kind of faith is not manufactured in a moment. It is cultivated in ordinary days, in repetition, in surrender. Lasting faith is not built o...
