Goals Quotes

"So why don't we take the step of setting goals for ourselves? One reason that stands out is that we aren't willing to accept full responsibility for our lives. If we don't set goals, then we don't have to reach them. Another excuse is that goal setting has never been part of our lives or culture. As a result, we may end up mixing with people who have no clear idea where they are headed, becoming a person who "follows the followers."
