Motivational Quotes

Goals

Energy is the essence of life. Every day you decide how you're going to use it by knowing what you want and what it takes to reach that goal, and by maintaining focus.

- Oprah Winfrey

Best Quotes about Goals

Give yourself something to work toward -- constantly.

Ash, Mary Kay

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 disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. 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 a sin

Mayes, Benjamin E.

Review your goals twice every day in order to be focused on achieving them.

Brown, Les

We didn't get great goals. We just scored no-fear goals. Heart goals.

Pilon, Rich

Decide what you want and write your goals. Then convert your goals into positive, present tense statements called affirmations. Affirm your goals each day until they become part of your subconscious mechanism.

Man is a goal seeking animal. His life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals.

Aristotle

No wind is of service to him that is bound for nowhere.

Proverb, French

The person with a fixed goal, a clear picture of his desire, or an ideal always before him, causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in his subconscious mind and is thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power, to realize his goal in a minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort. Just pursue the thought unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers become directed to that end.

Bristol, Claude M.

Difficulties increase the nearer we approach the goal.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

Those who build beneath the stars build too low.

Young, Edward

12.

The goals you set for yourself and the strategies you choose become your blueprint or plan. Strategies are like recipes: choose the right ingredients, mix them in the correct proportions, and you will always produce the same predictable results: in this case financial success. The success strategies for managing money and building wealth are called Money Strategies. By learning to use money strategies as a part of your day-to-day life, financial frustration and failure will become a thing of the past.

Givens, Charles J.

In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.

Robert Heinlein

17.

I consider a goal as a journey rather than a destination. And each year I set a new goal.

Carlson, Curtis

18.

The goal you set must be challenging. At the same time, it should be realistic and attainable, not impossible to reach. It should be challenging enough to make you stretch, but not so far that you break.

Hansen, Rick

19.

To solve a problem or to reach a goal, you don't need to know all the answers in advance. But you must have a clear idea of the problem or the goal you want to reach.

Stone, W. Clement

20.

Some people drift along like a cork on a river, feeling that they cannot do anything except drift, moment to moment. This is an attitude of mind. Everyone can be constructive even in tiny ways.

Bono, Edward De

21.

Without a goal to work toward, we will not get there.

Josefowitz, Natasha

22.

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. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it's who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment.

Robbins, Anthony

23.

To be come fully alive a person must have goals and aims that transcend himself.

Dierdorf, Dan

27.

Goals help you channel your energy into action.

Brown, Les

28.

Everyone has a success mechanism and a failure mechanism. The failure mechanism goes off by itself. The success mechanism only goes off with a goal. Every time we write down and talk about a goal we push the button to start the success mechanism.

Jones, Charles ''Tremendous''

29.

The person who has the will to undergo all labor may win any goal.

Menander of Athens

30.

There is no achievement without goals.

Mckain, Robert J.

31.

You cannot do a goal. Long-term planning and goal-setting must therefore be complemented by short-term planning. This kind of planning requires specifying activities. You can do an activity. Activities are steps along the way to a goal. Let's say you desire security. Putting $10.00 in the bank or talking to your stockbroker about your investment plans are activities that will move you toward your goal.

Lakein, Alan

32.

The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.

Morgan, John Pierpont

There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.

Brown, Les

36.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.

Denis Watley

A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.

Carlyle, Thomas

It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.

Arnold Toynbee

You will now have a starting place and a destination, and you will be able to determine what it will cost you to get there. You will be going someplace.

Judd, H. Stanley

43.

It is far better to give work that is above a person, than to educate the person to be above their work.

Ruskin, John

46.

I've surpassed any goal I set for myself as far as my body, my career, and getting married.
