Quotes about Goals

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream…” ~ C. S. Lewis

“If you raise your standards but don’t really believe you can meet them, you’ve already sabotaged yourself. You won’t even try; you’ll be lacking the sense of certainty that allows you to tap the deepest capacity that’s within you… Our beliefs are like unquestioned commands, telling us how things are, what’s possible and impossible and what we can and can not do. They shape every action, every thought and every feeling that we experience. As a result, changing our belief systems is central to making any real and lasting change in our lives.” ~ Anthony Robbins

Kimo’s Hawaiian Rules

Never judge a day by the weather

The best things in life aren’t things

Tell the truth – there’s less to remember

Speak softly and wear a loud shirt

Goals are deceptive – the unaimed arrow never misses

He who dies with the most toys – still dies

Age is relative – when you’re over the hill, you pick up speed

There are two ways to be rich – make more or desire less

Beauty is internal – looks mean nothing

No Rain – No Rainbows
