You are making an excellent point, and it’s related to the statement by Anthony Robbins in Quotation #5.

One of my former mentors always made the point that when you’re close to reaching a goal you should already be setting the next one. Part of this is what Anthony Robbing was getting at…the goal is a means to an end, not the purpose of our life.

My mentor had another point which was that you are happiest when you are pursuing a worthwhile goal. The happiness is a result of the pursuit, not the achievement of the goal. I think the fulfillment you mentioned comes from knowing that you are pursuing something worthwhile, you are in the act of achievement and, as Anthony Robbins might add, you are advancing toward the purpose of your life!

Thanks for the comment,

You have some wonderful quotations on goals.

One of the dynamics I have noticed is that people need to understand the importance of setting goals again and again and again. When a goal is fulfilled, the person may not be fulfilled, and sometimes even feels empty or lost. In those times, new and compelling goals are essential.

Make it a Magnificent Day!
