Goal Setting Quotes

“(From chapter on Getting Started at Stanford). Go ahead, go to all your parties. Go ahead and go home to your families and friends every weekend. You are probably smarter than me. But it doesn't matter. While you are goofing around, I'm gonna be studying, and I'm gonna catch you.”

“I believe having a vision in mind, a goal let's say, is a good thing. Unfortunately, so many of us are blinded by the greatness of our vision that paralysis and inaction sets in. What I try to do is focus on the individual steps, the moments if you will, and let them lead one to the next. The vision that eventually appears may not be exactly what you had in mind, but it will be the right one for you, because you did the work and you took the necessary action.”

“Aim higher, more ambitious or more audacious than the goal you are currently struggling with, and that will help you get those lower goals done. If you've got to get to that big goal, you've got to do that other thing to get there. That other thing may have otherwise been a gigantic goal for you with all this weight. But now that it becomes the number two goal on the way to the bigger goal, it becomes this mindset of "I just got to get this thing done" on your way to the bigger goal, because this is one of the lower goals now.”

“Goals are the foundation of every meaningful achievement. Writing them down is not merely a task; it’s a declaration of your intent to pursue a better version of yourself. When you review them regularly, you remind yourself of what truly matters, keeping your focus sharp and your determination alive. Goals guide your steps and transform your dreams into actionable plans.”

“Your goals are the blueprint for your future self. Writing them down makes them visible, and reviewing them regularly keeps them alive in your mind and heart. This simple yet profound practice connects you with your purpose, helping you navigate challenges and seize opportunities with clarity and confidence.”

“The act of writing down your goals solidifies your commitment to your dreams. When you review them, you refine your focus, energize your efforts, and awaken your inner drive. Goals are not merely tasks to complete; they are stepping stones to a life of purpose and meaning.”

“I recommend that you focus on both substance and process of your goals. I believe that both are equally important: by setting a high-quality SMART goal you will enable yourself to be conscious and your actions will carry more meaning; meanwhile, it is the execution of the SMART goals strategy that separates achievers from the rest of the people.”

“In my many years of working with people, I have never seen things change by chance, you have to work it out yourself.... life really sucks but YOU have what it takes to change it.”
