Powerful Goals Quotes That Will Totally Inspire You

Do you have a list of exciting goals written down that inspire you every day? If you answered yes to this question, great! Now for the next question, do you take action every day that will help you to achieve your goals? If you answered yes again, I am really impressed.

For anyone who might not have a list of goals at the moment, I highly recommend that (today) you write down your 5 or 10 goals for the year ahead and start taking action to achieve them.

Your goals can be a mixture of health goals, finance goals, travel goals, learning goals, business goals. They are your goals and the list is endless to the type of goals that you can have for yourself.

You might have a goal to exercise for 1 hour every day, to lose a certain amount of weight or to fit into a dress or suit again. You might have a goal to save a certain amount of money every month. You might have a goal to travel to a different country or to perhaps start up your own small business. Perhaps you will have a goal to support a good cause or charity.

Motivational speaker Jim Rohn said this about goal setting: The ultimate reason for setting goals is to entice you to become the person it takes to achieve them.

I keep my list of goals at the back of the journal that I use every day. I read over my goals first thing in the morning and then I write in my journal. Reading my goals inspire and excite me, and always put me into the perfect mindset before I begin to write in my journal.

I hope that you will enjoy the following collection of quotes about goals and goal setting. I also hope that they will inspire you to take action today to write down your exciting goals and dreams of the future and start taking action to achieve them.
