Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate
purpose of
our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate
our focus
and move us in a direction. The only reason
we really
pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand
and grow.

overcome the
obstacles necessary to achieve your goals,
that can give
you the deepest and most long-lasting sense
of fulfillment.

others will
sense that duplicity. We simply won't be able
to create and
sustain the foundation necessary for effective
interdependence.
