Jonathan Edwards wrote 67 resolutions (guiding principles) for his life when he was in his early 20's. Here are just a couple related to the use of time and the goal of life. Perhaps you can think over them, find Scriptural support, and implement them into your mindset.
RESOLUTIONS REGARDING THE AIM OF LIFE:
1. “Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God’s glory, and my own good … Resolved to do whatever I think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general.”22. “Resolved, to endeavor to obtain for myself as much happiness, in the other world, as I possibly can, with all the power; might, vigor, and vehemence, yea violence, I am capable of, or can bring myself to exert, in any way that can be thought of.” [My editorial question for you, Ask yourself what will promote maximum happiness for the maximum duration? Is it not pursuing God?]
RESOLUTIONS REGARDING THE USE OF TIME:
5. Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.52. I frequently hear persons in old age say how they would live, if they were to live their lives over again: Resolved, that I will live just so as I can think I shall wish I had done, supposing I live to old age.
