In summary to achieve a goal you are going to have to want it.

So many go through life with no goal, no focus. If you have a goal, it is the Lord’s gift. Pursue it wholeheartedly and “do all to the glory of God.” (1Co 10:31)

Wanting it is a gift of the Lord, successful or not.

Lev 19:18 You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.

1Co 10:31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Col 3:17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Col 3:23 Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,

Col 3:24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.

Luk 10:25 And a lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

Luk 10:26 And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?”

Luk 10:27 And he answered, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”

Luk 10:28 And He said to him, “You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE.”

Luk 10:29 But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

Luk 10:30 Jesus replied and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.

Luk 10:31 “And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

Luk 10:32 “Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

Luk 10:33 “But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,

Luk 10:34 and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

Luk 10:35 “On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.'

Luk 10:36 “Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?”

Luk 10:37 And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.”
