Not
having a goal is more to be
feared than not reaching a goal.
Robert
Schuller

Before you begin a
thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays
quite impossible
to foresee are ahead. . . . You can only see one thing
clearly and
that is your goal. Form a mental vision of that
and cling to
it through thick and thin.
Kathleen Norris |

Goals
are simply tools to focus your energy in positive
directions; they can be
changed as your priorities
change, new ones added, and others dropped.

Not every
end is a goal. The end of a melody is not
its goal; but nevertheless, if the melody had not reached
its end it would not have reached its goal either.
Friedrich
W. Nietzsche

The happiest days are found in struggling
toward a goal, not in any attainment.

If one
sets up fantasy goals, then it follows that one will experience
fantasy victories and fantasy defeats, the inevitable pendulum
swing within the world of desire. The goal of God is the reality of
yourself; you are within God, and God is within you.
A
Spiritual Warrior

The
reason most people never reach their goals is
that they don't define them, or ever seriously
consider them as believable or achievable.

It must be borne in mind that
the tragedy of life
doesn’t lie in
not reaching your goal.
The
tragedy lies in having no goal
to reach. It isn’t a calamity
to die with dreams unfulfilled,
but it
is a calamity not to dream.
It
is not a disgrace not to reach
the stars, but it is a disgrace
to have no
stars to reach for.
Not
failure, but low aim is sin.
Benjamin Mays

If I had one
wish for my children, it would be that each of them
would reach for goals that have meaning for them as individuals.
Lillian Carter |

| No matter what the competition is, I try to find a
goal that day and better that goal.
Bonnie Blair |

Know what you want to do--then do it. Make
straight for your goal and go undefeated in spirit to the end.
Ernestine Schumann-Heink |

Goals are dreams with deadlines.
Diana Scharf Hunt |
| A good goal is like a strenuous exercise--it makes you
stretch.
Mary Kay Ash |

The goal
of all civilization, all religious thought, and all that
sort of thing is simply to have a good time. But people get
so solemn over the process that they forget the end.
Don Marquis |

Goals
give direction to our lives. We need to know who we are
and where we want to go. But the trip itself, the steps we
travel, offer us daily satisfaction moment by moment--
fulfillment, if we'd but realize it. Too often we keep our
sights on the goal's completion, rather than the process--the
day-to-day living that makes the completion possible.

If
you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you.
If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you.
Whatever good things we build end up building us.

The big
secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever
your goal, you can get there if you're willing to work.
Oprah

The
important thing
is to strive towards
a goal which is not
immediately visible.
That goal is not
the concern of
the mind, but of
the spirit.
Antoine
de
Saint-Exupéry |

The danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim
too high and falling short,
but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
Michelangelo Buonarrati |

You have
to set the goals that are almost out of reach. If you set
a goal that is attainable without much work or thought, you are
stuck with something below your true talent and potential.
Steve Garvey |

To experience the satisfaction and
enjoyment of success in life, a definitive goal
is essential. Many people fail at this vital point. The goal
must be definite and specific,
not in any sense vague or fuzzy. And to prove attainable, its image
needs to be
sharpened and resharpened continually, so that it stands out vividly in
your thoughts.
You must know, at all times, precisely and for certain what it is you want
to accomplish
and achieve. Strong and organized purposefulness toward a definite
objective
will focus your powers into a strong motivation in attainment of your
goal.
Norman Vincent Peale |

|
Because our goals are not lofty but
illusory,
our problems are not difficult, but nonsensical.
Ludwig Wittgenstein |
| |
|
|
| |
To enjoy
your goals, think of them as signposts, pointing you in a certain
direction. They give you a focus and help your energy to get
moving. The
way you go is up to you; you can get very uptight focusing only on getting
to your goal or you can relax and enjoy the entire journey, appreciating
every
unexpected bend and turn of the road, ever new opportunity
for learning and feeling.
