The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach
The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream...It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.
It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach.
Failure isn't in not reaching your goal but in having no goal to reach.
Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it.
To strive tirelessly and at all times to reach one's goal - therein lies the secret of success.
Better to have a big goal and reach half of it than to have no goal and reach all of it.
To solve a problem or to reach a goal, you don't need to know all the answers in advance. But you must have a clear idea of the problem or the goal you want to reach.
Believe me, there is no goal, nor a way to reach it. You are the way and the goal, there is nothing else to reach except yourself.
The value of the goal lies in the goal itself; and therefore the goal cannot be attained unless it is pursued for its own sake.
To reach an audacious goal, we sometimes benefit from having it lie just beyond our grasp.
It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.
To reach your goal authentically is probably, in the end, going to mean much more to you than having reached it in a false way.
The tragedy is not so much the experience that you're having. The tragedy is that we don't take the time to understand the meaning and purpose behind what we're going through.
On some occasions, it is every footballer's dream to play for the national team, but if you don't reach it, you always need to work harder to reach a higher level, a level you wouldn't reach if you didn't have this as a goal.
There's a lot of stress on young people. They've always got exams and have to reach this goal or reach that goal. Yoga might be really good for them because there must be a lot of emotions that come up and yoga would really help to get a perspective and balance.
Nothing lies beyond the reach of prayer except that which lies outside the will of God.
