Why are goals important?

A man was traveling and stopped at an intersection. He asked an elderly man, "Where does this road take me?" The elderly person asked, "Where do you want to go?" The man replied, "I don't know." The elderly person said, "Then take any road. What difference does it make?"

Definition of goal

• Goals are dreams with a deadline and an action plan. Goals can be worthy or unworthy. It is passion, not wishing, that turns dreams into reality.

Steps to turn a dream into reality:

 1. Have a definite, clear goal written.

 2. Have a plan to accomplish it.

 3. Read the first two twice a day.

He slept beneath the moon, he basked beneath the sun,

he lived a life of going to do and died with nothing done

—James Albery

To laugh often and love much;

To win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children;

To earn the approval of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To give of one’s self without the slightest thought of return;

To have accomplish a task, whether a healthy child, a rescued soul, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;

To have played and laughed with Enthusiasm and sung with exaltation;

To know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded.

-Anonymous

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don’t!

If you like to win, but think you can’t

It’s almost a cinch you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost;

For out in the world we find

Success begins with a fellow’s will;

It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,

You’ve got to think high to rise,

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go

To the stronger and faster man,

But sooner or later the man who wins

Is the man who thinks he can.

Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at something worth doing.

-Theodore Roosevelt
