The big trouble here is this, though:

“Often people that settle in life are those that only do what they can with what they have and where they are,” says Shannon L. Alder.

Why is it trouble? Quite simply. They want YOU to settle too. They don’t want you to reach for higher goals in life. Your success makes them feel like failures. That’s why the world and his mother are telling you NOT to wish for higher goals.

And that’s why Shannon L. Alder continues,

“Never settle for someone that didn’t know your worth from the beginning, or build a life without God in it. Live beyond your low expectations.” ― Shannon L. Alder

Let me ask you – What do you want to achieve in your life? Do you want to gain better health,… more time for family or recreational fun, more leisure time, … or advancement in business…?

Or, do you want to be a better parent,… more creative or efficient,… or more influential over others?

Or, do you want to earn more money, be financially independent, and resist domination by others?

Whatever your desire is, to achieve it, you must set your goals in the first place. Then, make every possible effort to take that challenge.

The following set of 60 “quotes achieving goals” are to help you get all your cylinders firing.

So let’s start those wheels turning:

    Hi,
    There are some good quotes in here I especially like the one from Stephen Kellogg. Even doing something menial in a career path you want to be in, in something you enjoy is better than at being at the top in something you don’t like. The photos illustrating jumping the hurdles or problems in life and climbing the career ladder are well placed too. Rosalynn Carter and Brian Tracy’s quotes are also very motivational.

    • Hi Ruby and thank you for the feedback. I am happy to hear you found the post helpful. Obviously, these quotes helped me a lot. People like to read inspirational quotes because they struggle with the same things. Failures, obstacles, dreaming but not achieving, etc. So it’s inspiring to see how others handle similar difficulties… And finally win.

      That’s motivating, isn’t it?

      Thank you again for the feedback, Ruby :)
