Achievers Wisdom #061: Achieving Set Goals Leads To Greatness

“Every single life only becomes great when the individual sets upon a goal or goals which they really believe in, which they can really commit themselves to, which they can put their whole heart and soul into”. - Brian Tracy

Within each and every one of us, we want to be great. Unfortunately 95% of those who desire greatness are just wandering around thinking they are going somewhere. “The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score” - Bill Copeland. That is exactly what I mean; your brilliance cannot earn you success in an examination without written the answers down. What is the only thing you would do if you know you will not fail? then go ahead and do it. Whatever you believe in, find a way to start doing it, you either become great doing it or it will lead you to where you will become great. “All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.” Says Orison Swett Marden.

We have heard it times without number that, those who set goals achieve more than those who do not, while those who sets goals and write it down achieve much more than those who set goals but failed to write it down. Writing your goals down and where you will always see it and read it to yourself is a sign of commitment. It differentiates between those who actually have a dream of achieving something specific and those who only wish to. In a nutshell “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal.” - Earl Nightingale.

Life is only meaningful when you set out to achieve something that is dear to your heart. The more goals you commit yourself to achieve, the more you will discover many meaningful things and many things you consider meaningful that is meaningless. That is wisdom. And we all need it to become great. However, “Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.” - Pablo Picasso.

Never give up on that goal, keep working on it to become great
