About
Hi, Welcome to the Creative Force podcast. This week I speak with returning guest, Tannera Lindvall. In this episode, Tannera Lindvall shares practical and faith-filled insights on how to set meaningful goals and actually achieve them. Goals aren’t just endpoints - they’re stepping stones toward God’s vision for a life of constant growth.
My Takeaways
Goals are important because they measure your progress in life.
Goals should not be an end all. The vision God has for us is to be on a constant growth path.
My goal is progress! Celebrate the progress!
Don’t be vague with setting your goals.
