Napoleon Hill (1883-1970, American speaker, author, “Think & Grow Rich”)
“People who say that life is not worthwhile are really saying that they themselves have no personal goals which are worthwhile. Get yourself a goal worth working for. Better still, get yourself a project. Always have something ahead of you to “look forward to” — to work for & hope for.”
Maxwell Maltz (1944-, Canadian-born American plastic surgeon, author of “Psycho-Cybernetics”)
“In life, the first thing you must do is decide what you really want. Weigh the costs & the results. Are the results worthy of the costs? Then make up your mind completely & go after your goal with all your might.”

“Your life can’t go according to plan if you have no plan.”
Author Unknown

Les Brown (1945-, American speaker, author, trainer, motivator,)
“It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable to capture your ideal, but it is a disaster to have no ideal to capture. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is a sin.”
Benjamin E. Mayes
“There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; &, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.”
Logan Pearsall Smith (1865-1946, Anglo-American essayist, aphorist)
“Allow yourself to dream & fantasize about your ideal life; what it would look like, & what it would feel like. Then do something every day to make it a reality!”

“Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus & move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand & 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 & most long-lasting sense of fulfilment.”
Anthony Robbins (1960-, American author, speaker, peak performance expert, coach)

William James (1842-1910, American psychologist, professor, author)
