Connect S1E02_Rerun_ From Pain To Purpose

Send us Fan MailTired of watching your goals fade by February? We take a frank look at why ambitions stall and offer a plan that actually sticks—rooted in faith, grounded in reality, and built for your life, not someone else’s. It starts with two powerful guides: big picture thinking to clarify what you truly want, and pain points to reveal what must change. When you connect your imagination and your discomfort, energy turns into direction.From there, we walk through the Wheel of Life—career, finance, health, family, relationships, spirituality, recreation, and community—to avoid the trap of winning in one area while losing in another. Career takes centre stage as the place where purpose, significance, and service meet. Whether you’re sensing the quiet ache of midlife or simply craving better alignment, we show how to personalise goals so they fit your values: travel when it fuels you, proximity when family needs you, and work that leaves you useful and alive.Then comes the build. We translate timeless wisdom about counting the cost into practical SMART goals—specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound—stated in the positive and tailored to your context. No more generic plans. We share how to convert each goal into repeatable habits, why 21 days creates traction and 90 days locks rhythm, and how to pre-plan contingencies so setbacks bend your path without breaking it. We close with a simple 3D action plan: be diligent, be disciplined, be deliberate. Your pain can become a pointer. Your big picture can become a map. Your habits can become the engine.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review to tell us which goal you’ll make measurable this week.Support the showSubscribe to the official Parklands Baptist Church Channel to stream our latest messages, your favourite sermons from over the years, and much more. Hit the 🛎 Notification Bell so that you never miss our most recent video. Below is the online giving link https://checkout.pesaway.com/parkie/Follow Parklands Baptist Church on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parkiebaptist/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ParkieBaptist Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/parkiebaptistTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@parkiebaptistTelegram: https://t.me/+V6fHp1JfJjIdBOk5
