This dashboard was created to help me keep track of my 100 Life Goals completion, and to help me be accountable. Each goal will have a gauge and a status: either (1) Not Started, (2) In Progress or (3) Complete. The location of the arrow will indicate the current status of each goal. Here is the background on the setting of these goals:

Every year in December I have made a list of the things I want to accomplish for the year, but they are short term goals. These 100 goals are stretch goals. Some are short term, and several are long term and may take a lifetime to complete. Setting these goals requires me to really check my motivation in a lot of areas.

Why am I doing this? Well, since faith is the evidence of things hoped for, I need to write down the things that I hope for. If I don’t have a God-ordained plan for myself, I will follow the plan my job has laid for me, or my spouse or my children have for me, and it won’t be my own plan.
