Goal Driven Quotes

“Many Quakers embody the dynamic of contemplation and activism. Inward-focused contemplation compliments outward-focused missions to prisons, polluted rivers, and plastic-bloated seas.”
― Amos Smith, Holistic Mysticism: The Integrated Spiritual Path of the Quakers

“Dreams are ideas where the collar has been removed and the leash has been thrown away.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“From the late 1800s to the late 1900s... science suggested that human beings are the direct byproduct of their own past. [...]

Research now shows that a person’s past does not drive or dictate their actions and behaviors. Rather, we are pulled forward by our future. [...]

From this view, [...] all human-action is goal-driven [or purpose-driven], even if the goal of the behavior isn’t consciously considered by the individual. [...]

There is always a why for everything someone does. That why is their reason or goal for what they’re doing. [...]

While [...] purpose may not [always] be conscious or inspiring, [a person's reason behind their behavior] still exists. Even if the goal is simply immediate gratification or escape, [as in the case of wasting time] on social media.”
― Benjamin P. Hardy, Be Your Future Self Now: The Science of Intentional Transformation
