Anyone who has ever accomplished anything of any consequence, didn't know how to get what they want, they only knew that they were going to get it.

-- Bob Proctor

Set a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time.

If you do not get chills when you set a goal, your not setting big enough goals.
