I think so many times in our society we focus so much on just the end result; when we finally reach that point we realize that was never the true goal.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some goals you just never really think about trying to achieve because they just seem so out of reach.
I really feel like my goal, and I don't always achieve it, is to do the best work I can do, and stay out of the results. Because ultimately, the result is not what the work is about. There are other people whose jobs are to focus on those results and maximize them, and that's great. Let them do their job.
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.
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.
One approaches the journey's end. But the end is a goal, not a catastrophe.
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 goals to reach.
Success isn't about the end result, it's about what you learn along the way.
If you want to reach a goal, you must 'see the reaching' in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal.
What we find is that if you have a goal that is very, very far out, and you approach it in little steps, you start to get there faster. Your mind opens up to the possibilities.
People with goals succeed because they know where they're going.
