Evaluate Your Goals

Learn
Goals can help us set a proper course for our lives and focus on what we want to accomplish.
Elder Marvin J. Ashton of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said, “The direction in which we are moving is more important than where we are at the moment. Goal setting should cause us to stretch as we make our way” (“The Word Is Commitment,” Ensign, Nov. 1983, 61).
As you review the goals you set this school year, has this process “stretched” you to be a better student? Share an example of how setting and accomplishing your goals has brought you closer to Jesus Christ. For example, you may have developed more patience or diligence or developed a stronger relationship with your Heavenly Father through prayer.
