Diamond: I loved The Players Club for offering women a way to reach their goals in life. But I also hated The Players Club for all the girls it destroyed in the process.
My next goal is to become a movie star. I'm moving my first steps in this field joining some international productions.
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing is just a grain of sand, and what you've been up there searching for forever, is in your hands. When you figure out love is all that matters after all it sure makes everything else seem so small.
A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.
Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.
I've wanted to win at everything, every day, since I was a kid. And time doesn't change a person, it just helps you get a handle on who you are. Even at age 41, I still hate losing--I'm just more gracious about it. I'm also aware that setbacks have an upside; they fuel new dreams.
If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.
Herb Brooks: I'm thinking about sitting you down Jim. Jim Craig: What? Wait what are you talking about? Herb Brooks: No, it's not your fault. I played you way too much, and you're too tired. Besides that, I think it's time I give Janny a look. He's been waiting for seven months. Jim Craig: YOu're kidding me? Now? Herb Brooks: Of course I mean now! Jim Craig: That's my net man. You can't do that! Herb Brooks: They just scored ten goals Jim. Right now it's everybody's net.
I do know that when I am 60, I should be attempting to achieve different personal goals than those which had priority at age 20.
What keeps me going is goals.
Betsy: [First lines] You know what? You're right I always thought I'd need a cool job or money or exciting things to do or a boyfriend or even friends or goals in life or hobbies or a Ferrari Testarossa or a membership to Costco or a library card to be happy, but i don't.
Randy: Oh yeah? We'll lets re-direct the moment Mr. I'm so original. Where's your motivation? Huh? Why copy yourself off of two high school loser ass dickheads? Stu was a pussy ass wet rag. And Billy Loomis? Billy Loomis, what the fuck? Jesus! Talk about a rat looking homo repressed momma's boy! Why not set your goals higher huh? You wanna be one of the big boys! Huh? Manson, Bundie, O.J, Son of...
There is one other error in the Gondsman's line of resoning, I believe, on ap urely emotional level. If machines replace achievement, then to what will people aspire? And who are we, truly, without such goals? Beware the engineers of society, I say, who would make everyone in all the world equal. Opportunity should be equal, must be equal, but achievement must remain individual.
A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself. He makes his failures certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it.
Begin somewhere. You cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.
If you're bored with life, if you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things, you don't have enough goals.
For some people, their fear to lose is greater than their desire to succeed, so they end up doing nothing and their dreams become impossible.
An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
I'll have that someday, thought Peter. Someone who'll kiss me good-bye at the door. Or maybe just someone to put a blindfold over my head before they shoot me. Depending on how things turn out.
Chaos is more freedom; in fact, total freedom. But no meaning. I want to be free to act, and I also want my actions to mean something.
I should and can play better. That is going to be the challenge for me.
Are you aware that rushing toward a goal is a sublimated death wish? It's no coincidence we call them 'deadlines.
Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.
Even a moment's reflection will help you see that the problem of using your time well is not a problem of the mind but of the heart. It will only yield to a change in the very way we feel about time. The value of time must change for us. And then the way we think about it will change, naturally and wisely. That change in feeling and in thinking is combined in the words of a prophet of God in this dispensation. It was Brigham Young, and the year was 1877, and he was speaking at April general conference. He wasn't talking about time or schedules or frustrations with too many demands upon us. Rather, he was trying to teach the members of the Church how to unite themselves in what was called the united order. The Saints were grappling with the question of how property should be distributed if they were to live the celestial law. In his usual direct style, he taught the people that they were having trouble finding solutions because they misunderstood the problem. Particularly, he told them they didn't understand either property or the distribution of wealth. Here is what he said: With regard to our property, as I have told you many times, the property which we inherit from our Heavenly Father is our time, and the power to choose in the disposition of the same. This is the real capital that is bequeathed unto us by our Heavenly Father; all the rest is what he may be pleased to add unto us. To direct, to counsel and to advise in the disposition of our time, pertains to our calling as God's servants, according to the wisdom which he has given and will continue to give unto us as we seek it. [JD 18:354] Time is the property we inherit from God, along with the power to choose what we will do with it. President Young calls the gift of life, which is time and the power to dispose of it, so great an inheritance that we should feel it is our capital. The early Yankee families in America taught their children and grandchildren some rules about an inheritance. They were always to invest the capital they inherited and live only on part of the earnings. One rule was
But to believe that getting stuff is the purpose and aim of life is madness.
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; In
A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal that is worth achieving.
We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal and then leap in the dark to our success.
If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable.
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
People are not lazy, the simply have impotent goals..that is..goals that do not inspire them.
And I was remembering that time in our lives together, the time of those ritual walks. I was remembering the way it feels at just that moment when you begin to turn, when you
