The Importance of Goals

One of the main themes of BIW is setting a goal and working to achieve it. A lot of great philosophers and writers knew the importance of having goals and working toward them. Here’s what they had to say:

Aristotle:

“Man is a goal seeking animal. His life only has meaning if he is reaching out and striving for his goals.”

Fitzhugh Dodson:

“Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.”

Viktor Frankl:

“Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.”

Doug Larson:

“Establishing goals is all right if you don’t let them deprive you of interesting detours.”

C. S. Lewis:

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”

Anna Pavlova:

“To tend, unfailingly, unflinchingly, towards a goal, is the secret of success.”

Henry David Thoreau:

“We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.”

Zig Ziglar

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”
