Best Quotes about Goals

People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals -- that is, goals that do not inspire them.

Robbins, Anthony

Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow.
