Goals give purpose. Purpose gives faith. Faith gives courage. Courage gives enthusiasm. Enthusiasm gives energy. Energy gives life. Life lifts you over the bar.

God gives us a difficulty in order to bring out the fighting spirit. Everything that happens to you can happen for good if you have this spirit. The essential thing in life is not in the conquering, but in the fight.

Strive for perfection – never be content with mediocrity. You don’t win until you conquer the little flaws. You don’t beat these great ones until your form is perfect. This is true in all of life.
