First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end.
Goals are not only absolutely necessary to motivate us. They are essential to really keep us alive.
If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.
A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.
It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.
As long as I have a want, I have a reason for living. Satisfaction is death.
Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal.
The main goal of the future is to stop violence. The world is addicted to it.
Before you begin a thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays quite impossible to foresee are ahead. If you could see them clearly, naturally you could do a great deal to get rid of them but you can't. You can only see one thing clearly and that is your goal. Form a mental vision of that and cling to it through thick and thin.
I just want to be myself and go for my own dreams and goals.
I am a perfectionist. This job is a total ego thing in a way. To be a designer and say, 'This is the way they should dress; this is the way their homes should look; this is the way the world should be.' But then, that's the goal: world domination through style.
If pursuing material things becomes your only goal, you will fail in so many ways. Besides, in time all material things go away.
Have goals so big your problems pale in comparison.
You can't motivate a group of people or a Team. You have to motivate people individually, and that motivation has to be in an environment in which that person has a goal - something they want to accomplish in their lives.
When you find yourself in the thickness of pursuing a goal or dream, stop only to rest. Momentum builds success.
The purer your heart, the lighter your spirit will be. The lighter your spirit, the closer to light it will float. The closer to light it is permitted to go, the higher it will float. The higher it floats, the closer to God you will be. Heaven has seven layers. The vibrations of your good deeds, which will be reflected by the weight of your conscience and the purity of your heart, will determine the layer in which your soul will reside. Your goal is to make your heart as light as a feather. The heavier the heart, the more chained to this hell it will remain.
Remember, life is all what you focus on. Learn lessons and keep moving forward towards your goals and dreams... "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
Goals enable you to do more for yourself and others, too.
Time can be an ally or an enemy. What it becomes depends entirely upon you, your goals, and your determination to use every available minute.

Self-discipline leads to higher spiritual states only if practiced with under- standing. The clearer the goal, the greater the result.
A goal without a pan is just a wish.
