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.

Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end.
