The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to become the person it takes to achieve them

Define it. Remember, well-defined goals are like magnets. The better you chisel them, the stronger they pull.

Goal setting is the secret to a compelling future.

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

Believe that you can do it. Believing in oneself and having confidence are essential for achieving success.

You Need Goals that Stretch You

Let me share with you an intriguing thought. The real value in setting goals is not in their achievement. The acquisition of the things you want is strictly secondary. The major reason for setting goals is to compel you to become the person it takes to achieve them. Let me explain:

A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive.

Your determination and energy will be proportionate to your goal. Therefore, set a high goal for yourself and do not settle for anything less than the very best. The best is exactly what you will get if you accept no less.

If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.

The real purpose of every goal you set is to become the type of person who can consistently set and achieve significant goals.

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

You want to set a goal that is big enough that in the process of achieving it you become someone worth becoming.
