1. Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Helen Keller
2. Do not let yourselves be discouraged or embittered by the smallness of the success you are likely to achieve in trying to make life better. You certainly would not be able, in a single generation, to create an earthly paradise. Who could expect that? But, if you make life ever so little better, you will have done splendidly, and your lives will have been worthwhile. Arnold Toynbee
3. Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge or any occupation, no matter how frightening or difficult, a new meaning. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity but with it you can accomplish miracles. Og Mandino
4. Everyone who achieves success in a great venture solved each problem as they came to it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They kept going regardless of the obstacles they met. Clement Stone
5. Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it’s who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment. Anthony Robbins
6. Goals are your personal statements of what you are truly willing to do to achieve what you really want to achieve. Denis Waitley

9. If you achieve success, you will get applause, and if you get applause, you will hear it. My advice to you concerning applause is this; enjoy it but never quite believe it. Robert Montgomery
10. If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want and copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results. Anthony Robbins

I read that quotation yesterday in a friend’s newsletter and had to share it with my readers! What an important distinction this is. We always hear about the importance of knowing who we are and what our values are as we establish our goals. That’s what this quotation is about.

We do set goals for our future, that’s how we make our future become what we want it to be. But, our goals must be consistent with our values. If you try to establish a goal that is inconsistent with your values, you will find it almost impossible to achieve. Why? Because to achieve it you have to work against your values. This doesn’t work. We’re back to the Biblical reminder that no man can serve two masters.

Goals come and go. We set a goal, work to achieve it, then set another. That’s how they’re supposed to work. That’s not how values work. Our values are pretty much constant. We have them now, and they guide our goals and actions. That’s how we live our values. If we are true to ourselves, our goals will take us to a future that still holds those values.

So, when you are envisioning your future seeing it with the results that come from achieving the goals you’re currently pursuing, that vision must be consistent with your values. You can count on your values to guide you.

• Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is to you.
• Often a certain abdication of prudence and foresight is an element of success.
• The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.
• There is no way to success in art but to take off your coat, grind paint, and work like a digger on the railroad, all day and every day.
• To achieve happiness, we should make certain that we are never without an important goal.
• To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
• We aim above the mark to hit the mark.
