Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy.
The greatest choice we have is to think before we act and then take action toward our life goals every day. Our problems result not only from our lack of action, but from our action without thought.
All of the top achievers I know are life-long learners. Looking for new skills, insights, and ideas. If they’re not learning, they’re not growing and not moving toward excellence.
Persistence means giving full concentration to whatever you are doing right now. … Persistence is success through trial, error, resetting your goals, and moving toward the target.
Perseverance does not always mean sticking to the same thing forever. It means giving full concentration and effort to whatever you are doing right now.
