goals

It isn't a brute instinct that keeps us restless and dissatisfied. I'll tell you what it is: it's the highest goal of man - the need to grow and advance . . . to find new things . . . to expand. To spread out, reach areas, experiences, comprehend and live in an evolving fashion. To push aside routine and repetition, to break out of mindless monotony and thrust forward. To keep moving on . . .

Everyone lives a self-centered life...whether its trivial like what's for breakfast, or more ambitious, like achieving some lofty goal, a person is constantly on her own mind.

It is necessary to look forward to a harvest, however distant that may be, when some fruit will be reaped, some good effected.

Willful blindness sees no end of damage done.

Intelligence is the key to achieve your dreams.

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.

Every step towards your dream today is a step away from your regret tomorrow.

An aspirational diet will have you dreaming of success; but it__ the attachment of expectations and tangible goals that feeds the desire, persistence, and fortitude required to make the win.

Do not constantly question why your desires have not manifested, although you should keep a vibrational connection to them.

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

No more excuses or procrastination! Stop allowing your days to be stolen by busy nothingness and take calculated steps towards your goals.

No matter what your wishes, they are not crazy so long as they are not crazy to you!

I am, for some reason, actually happy with who I am and the muscle, the bones, and the flub that exist beneath these clothes.I don__ need to lose 20 lbs. to be attractive.I don__ need to starve myself of the good things of life to be healthy.And, I don__ need to chase someone else__ ideal of what I should be looking like.

The journey of success requires a map for effective navigation. Establish a destination by defining what you want. Once you have a destination, take physical action by making choices that move you towards that destination.

My mother once told me, when you have to make a decision, imagine the person you want to become someday. Ask yourself, what would that person do?

The real achievers are those who, in the dreary pit of sacrifice, still smile up at the goal.

She hadn't realized how much she'd needed a dream, but it had transformed her, changed her from poor motherless and abandoned Tully to a girl poised to take on the world. The goal made her life story unimportant, gave her something to reach for, to hang on to

You know, you spend your childhood watching TV, assuming that at some point in the future everything you see will one day happen to you: that you too will win a Formula One race, hop a train, foil a group of terrorists, tell someone 'Give me the gun', etc. Then you start secondary school, and suddenly everyone's asking you about your career plans and your long-term goals, and by goals they don't mean the kind you are planning to score in the FA Cup. Gradually the awful truth dawns on you: that Santa Claus was just the tip of the iceberg - that your future will not be the rollercoaster ride you'd imagined,that the world occupied by your parents, the world of washing dishes, going to the dentist, weekend trips to the DIY superstore to buy floor-tiles, is actually largely what people mean when they speak of 'life'.
