Let Jesus be your Goal
“Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.” (Hebrews 12:1-3 WEB)
It is easier to do tasks well when there is a goal to focus on, especially for projects that need lots of time to complete—your morale can dip after many days of repetition with minimal progress.
The world teaches goal setting, but their goals are things like milestones. We have something much more powerful.
We are taught to “look unto Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith”—He is our goal to focus on.
No matter what race you’re running in this season, when you feel weary and like you’re going to faint in your soul (mind, will and emotions), “consider Him”. Think about Jesus as revealed in the Scriptures and aim to be like Him. Then, do your task as worship unto Him.
“even Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.” (Acts 10:38 WEB)
While He was on earth, Jesus went about doing good in the power of the Holy Spirit. He foiled the works of the devil. Jesus didn’t rely on His own divinity, but fully submitted to the Father’s will and depended on the power of the Holy Spirit. He did this to teach us how to live by faith in obedience to God.
When you feel discouraged, you can think, “What would Jesus do in this situation? My goal is to be like Jesus.”
The answer will come, and then you can straightaway receive the empowerment from the Holy Spirit to walk in that reality.
For example, let’s say that you’re a parent who is dealing with an unmotivated child who doesn’t want to study for his exams.
Your flesh may be tempted to feel angry or discouraged when you’re trying your best to teach him and he’s not even taking it seriously.
Pause and focus on Jesus, seeing Him as your goal. What would Jesus do? He would be very patient and loving in teaching your child, and He would have the wisdom to know exactly what would motivate your child. Perhaps there are underlying reasons for this behavior.
After knowing these, you can pray and receive the fruits of patience and love from the Holy Spirit, as well as any knowledge and wisdom to discern underlying causes for being unmotivated in studies.
Another scenario: It is a busy season at work. Your colleague at work suddenly talks very rudely to you, snapping at you and blaming you for her stress.
Your may feel that surge of indignation and anger rising up in your flesh, driving you to shout back at her.
Take a deep breath and focus on Jesus. What would Jesus do? Like how He spoke to Martha who was occupied with much serving, Jesus knew that she was stressed out because she was relying on her own strength to serve. He didn’t shout at her, He understood.
Then pray to have an understanding, patient and magnanimous heart like Jesus, not taking offense at those who lack the revelation of relying on the grace of God. Working only by the flesh leads to stress and burnout. You’ll realize that you won’t get angry, and instead become compassionate and empathetic.
It is good to have a goal to help you focus and perform your tasks better in life. Let Jesus always be that goal. Steadily look to Him and rely on the Holy Spirit to supply the power to live like Jesus. This is a very practical way to experience more peace, joy and fruitfulness in your life!

Do you know the story of the fisherman and businessman?
You probably do...
Maybe you heard it from one of your friends or colleagues.
Maybe you heard back in school or at a workshop. Or maybe you stumbled across it online.
Wherever you found it - it’s a really popular story. And it has a really good lesson.
But there’s a problem with the way most people tell it...
And after reading it, most people just ask the wrong damn question.
It’s what keeps them broke.
Today I’m going to share with you the true lesson of “The Fisherman And The Businessman”.
But first, here’s the story...
The Fisherman And The Businessman.
A businessman on vacation was walking along the beach one morning when he came across a fisherman beside a boat.
“Good morning! Going fishing?”
The fisherman laughed and pointed to the fish in his boat. “I'm already back from fishing!”
“Oh! Hmm, how long did it take you to catch those fish?”
“Uhh… only a couple of hours. Why?”
“Just curious… so ... why don’t you stay out longer and catch some more?”
“Oh, it’s already enough for me and my family. I don’t need anymore!”
“I see, okay so what do you do for the rest of the day?”
“Well, usually I go home and have lunch with my wife. Then I go take a nice afternoon nap. And then in the evening, I go into town and have drinks with my friends.”
That’s when the businessman had a fantastic idea.
“Wow! Okay, I’ve got some great advice for you. Why don’t you fish for longer every day and sell the extra fish for profit? That way, you can use the profits to buy yourself a bigger boat!"
"Uhh, why would I want a bigger boat?"
"To catch even more fish! And then if you sell those extra fish for a profit, you can grow your business! And buy enough boats to create a fleet!"
"A fleet??"
"Yep! And with all the new profits fro your fleet, you can build a fishing company! And you can grow until you’re an international operation!”
“Build a fishing company? Go international? Why!?”
“Well, that’s the best part! When you become that big … you can take your company public, sell your stock, and become an instant millionaire!”
The fisherman paused to think...
“An instant millionaire? How long would all this take?”
“Not too long I guess. Maybe 15 years. Maybe 20 years.”
“Okay… hmm … but I still don’t get it. What’s the point of doing all that?”
“Because as a millionaire, you can retire and do whatever the heck you want! You can relax, spend time with your wife, nap whenever you want, and even hang out with your friends in the evening!”
The fisherman scratched his chin.
“Well, isn’t that exactly what I’m doing now?”
“uhh…...”
You see, many entrepreneurs become entrepreneurs because of the ‘freedom’ generally associated with it.
...getting to wake up whenever you want.
...getting to spend as much time as you want with your family.
...and getting to take the time off to do whatever you want.
But along the way to that dream life, most get stuck on a hamster wheel. And the dream life they were so desperate to have just seems to move farther and farther away.
What do I mean? Well, let me show you what no one talks about.
Let’s say you have a 1M-dollar/year company.
It could be a restaurant, it could be an eCommerce store…
Whatever it is...
Let’s be conservative and say that after all the costs it takes to run your 1M revenue company, you have 25% in profits.
So 250,000 dollars in profits.
Following so far? Good.
Now, some people might think:
“Okay great, that’s not too bad.”
But you haven’t invested back into the company yet. So now let’s say you reinvest half of it back into your company.
Leaving you with only 125,000 dollars...
It’s not that much - is it?
It’s actually just a little over 10K a month.
And that’s BEFORE tax.
Not so glamorous and incredible like the media makes out running a million-dollar company is, right?
Also, that’s not even 10K passively…
While you’re scaling and finding the right people - it’s HARD hard work.
When I started my company, I was working for 12-14 hours a day every single damn day. And I did that for 5 years...
I’m NOT saying building a business is bad.
I’m just saying it’s not as simple and glamorous as people are telling you.
So what should you do to work towards your ideal life?
I recommend you take a lesson from the fisherman.
What The Fisherman Can Teach You About True Success
The fisherman had a good skill to provide for his family…
He could’ve used it to make more if he wanted to.
But he also had the freedom to create the lifestyle he wanted to.
And that’s what I recommend you do too.
Instead of pouring years into building companies, why not focus first on a skill that can give you control over your time and life?
A skill that can provide for you everything you need in just a few hours every morning...
-\-\ Without the typical overheads of a business.
-\-\ Without all the pressure to look after employees and beat the competition.
-\-\ And without all the late nights that most entrepreneurs have to experience.
Now, it’s not going to be as easy as fishing!
This is not some magic bullet BS.
It’s not some easy snap your fingers and 100 dollar notes will come flying out of your phone or computer thing.
And just like building a business - this isn’t for lazy people that would rather party and play video games all day.
But unlike a business, once you’ve got a skill that puts bucks in your pocket fast, no one can take that away from you...
