What To Do When You’ve Reached The End Of Your 20 Mile March?

The 20 mile march is all about taking consistent action so we can reach a specific goal. For Roald Amundsen it was trudging 20 miles every day until he and his team reached the South Pole. For you it may be completing your book manuscript. Helping your team reach record sales. Or getting into shape.

But what happens once you reach the finish line of your 20 mile march? What happens then?

It’s a great question to ask yourself. You need to have an idea of what you’ll do after accomplishing your current goal.

I have a few suggestions on what to do after completing the journey of the 20 mile march:

Are You About To Perish?

This sounds like a silly question, but it’s one you really need to think over.

Many of us are on a path that will end in destruction. We’re wandering without a clue on where we are going.

Proverbs 29:18 states “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”

The Bible makes it clear that we need a vision. Without it we will perish.

If you’re someone who doesn’t have a vision, it’s time to get one.

Are you ready to get serious about creating a vision statement for your life? Is that a yes I hear?

Good, I knew you were ready! Now let’s do this.

  • Set aside a day:
    You’re going to need time to do this. Try to find a full day to devote to this task. If you’re unable to do a full day, set aside 4 or more hours.  Read more...

    By creating a block of time to devote to creating a vision, you’re placing importance on it. This will also minimize distractions.
