40 Powerful Quotes About Goals And Goal Setting | Updated

One of the most important things that play vital roles in one’s success is the setting of goals. I’m going to quickly walk you through some goal-setting quotes in this article.

I already know you know what a goal is, but if you don’t, here is it: A goal, according to the English dictionary is, a result that one is attempting to achieve. It is a specific target that has been put in place to be attained.  This might sound too dramatic, so let’s try visualizing this scenario.

SCENARIO

You want to get a birken bag, and you have a plan to save up from your source(s) of income, for a stipulated time. You hit your savings target, and you get the bag. In this case, you set a goal, and you achieved it. The Birken bag is the goal. Saving is your strategy to get the goal. This is what goal setting is.

It is the act of visualizing a dream/goal, and pursuing it diligently. 
Anyone with the aim to achieve something in life needs to have goals, in various aspects. They can include any of these: relationships, family, professional career, finances, or all. A proper balance for all of the aspects is very necessary.

For instance, a major flex for every individual, is financial freedom, especially with all that ‘adulting’ has to offer. Thanks to Wikipedia, we have this definition for financial freedom.

“Financial independence is the status of having enough income to pay one’s living expenses for the rest of one’s life without having to be employed or dependent on others. “As much as this is the goal for everyone, it seems to be rather unattainable for some. Possibly, due to the lack of necessary motivation. Or maybe, the step sometimes, is to set a goal, and work towards it studiously.

Inspiration can only do so much by spurring you to channel your energy and into the realization of your goals. According to Horace Kallen, “The going is the goal.”
