Popular quotes about Goals! Wisdom and inspiration are here!
If you're trying to be miserable, it's important you don't have any goals. No school goals, personal goals, family goals.

To maintain your misery, the idea of crossing off your goals should never cross your mind.

Unless we create specific goals that match our purpose in life and unless we keep a clear vision of these goals, we may eventually falter and fail.
