Quotes on Written Goals

Reach high, for stars lie hidden in you. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

No matter how carefully you plan your goals they will never be more than pipe dreams unless you pursue them with gusto.

Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.

When Olympic decathlon gold medalist Bruce Jenner asked a roomful of Olympic hopefuls if they had a list of written goals, every one raised their hands. When he asked how many of them had that list with them right that moment, only one person raised their hand. That person was Dan O'Brien. And it was Dan O'Brien who went on to win the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. Don't underestimate the power of setting goals and constantly reviewing them.

People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.

The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don't define them, learn about them, or even seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.
