Having goals gives our life meaning and achieving them makes it fulfilling. Here are 30 goals quotes to pursue your dreams with boldness and enthusiasm.

Everyone wants something in life, whether it be happiness, health or money. Having goals gives our life meaning and achieving them makes it fulfilling.

Setting a clear goal, however, is not always an easy task. We may be indecisive of what we want, but once we know, we’re taking the first step to getting it.

No matter what we plan to achieve, we all experience that phase where the hill becomes harder to climb. We might give up on our goal for good or change it into something that takes less effort, something we believe to be more “realistic”.

Whenever you feel like throwing in the towel, remember that all the achievers that you look up to have felt the same way at some point — but kept on going. The following goals quotes will inspire you to follow your dreams even when the going gets tough.

As long as you’re passionate enough about what you want to accomplish, nothing will stand in your way. Your passion will make you commit and try harder when obstacles arise.
