12 Not that I have already reached the goal or am already perfect, but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:12 CSB)

The importance of goals cannot be overemphasized. Very few people set any goals for themselves aside from those thrust upon them in work circumstances.

However, we should have personal goals in life that encompass mental, physical and spiritual elements of our lives. Taking hold of reaching the goals that God set before us, especially that of being more Christ like, is a good start.
