People’s behavior makes sense if you think about it in terms of their goals, needs, and motives.
No easy hope or lies shall bring us to our goal, but iron sacrifice of body, will, and soul.
First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.
Your current conditions do not reflect your ultimate potential, but rather the size and quality of goals upon which you currently are focusing.
Whenever you have a goal, whether you want to be a doctor or a singer, people will find a way to bring you down. I always tell people that if you have something you’re really passionate about, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do it.
We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.
The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can’t let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.
Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.
Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything it is because we are dangerously near to wanting nothing.
No one ever achieved a goal by being interested in its achievement. One must be committed.
Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.
It’s not just getting a goal that matters, but the quality of life you experience along the way.
