goal

Being goal-oriented instead of self-oriented is crucial. I know so many people who want to be writers. But let me tell you, they really don't want to be writers. They want to have been writers. They wish they had a book in print. They don't want to go through the work of getting the damn book out. There is a huge difference.

To assume that I can even begin to chart a __traight_ path is probably the best way I can take myself __traight_ to the very place I don__ want to go.

The reason my life has wandered to nowhere is likely due to the fact that the focus of the moment has dictated the destination of my life, when the destination of my life should have been dictating the focus of the moment.

You have to set the time frame for accomplishing your goal. If you don__, it may take forever to reach your destination and you may get tired and change your focus. Consequently, to help you obtain and keep the sense of urgency that will help you stay focused, you have to set a deadline by which the goal has to be achieved.

I recommend that you focus on both substance and process of your goals. I believe that both are equally important: by setting a high-quality SMART goal you will enable yourself to be conscious and your actions will carry more meaning; meanwhile, it is the execution of the SMART goals strategy that separates achievers from the rest of the people.

You grow (and thrive!) by doing what excitesyou and what scares you everyday, not bytrying to find your passion.

A tenacious grip on our own ideals, irrespective of hurdles, would propel us towards self-actualization!

Excuses are a time thief. Have a goal, accept responsibility, and take action!

Starting a new way is never easy so...keep starting until the start sticks.

When a goal matters enough to a person, that person will find a way to accomplish what at first seemed impossible.

Through sheer volume of passing days you will travel a great distance in your lifetime. Imagine where you might stand if your footsteps steered toward a single goal.

I chase goals, not girls.

There's no point in being committed to a vision if you're not equally committed to making it a reality.

Obsession and desperation for your goal, gets you the goal.

Today, you can take an action that will lead you closer to your visions.

Stay committed and dedicated to your goals.

Some of the people who would tell you that you wouldn't be able to accomplish your dream, are the same ones who would tell you that they knew that you would do big things in life. Please don't ever let anyone talk you out of your positive mental imagination.

Have faith in your abilities and stay committed to your goals.
