Family Home Evening Lesson: Goal Setting

Goal Setting
Opening Song
Opening Prayer
Lesson:

• Print off pictures of what your family has done during the year or cut out pictures from magazines that represent things done as a family this year -- things good, hard, memorable, accomplishments by different family members
• Together as a family, make a collage of the pictures and hang it up to remind everyone of all of the wonderful things members of the family did or accomplished this year.
• Discussion Questions: How did you feel when you accomplished these things throughout the year? What did it take to do these things? Why is it important to set goals?
• Read and discuss President Hinkley quotes:
  "Try a little harder to be a little better." — Gordon B. Hinckley
  "The time has come for us to stand a little taller, to lift our eyes and stretch our minds to a greater comprehension and understanding of the grand millennial mission of this, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." — Gordon B. Hinckley
  "When I say do your best, I mean your very best. You are capable of so much more." — Gordon B. Hinckley
  
• Have each member of the family set some goals for the upcoming year.
