“To Stay Focused in Life:
… You can’t know everyone
… You can’t do everything
… You can’t go everywhere
We have to pick and choose between good and a little bit better.”

—John C. Maxwell (via onlinecounsellingcollege)

“If you’re trying to be miserable, it’s important you don’t have any goals. No school goals, personal goals, family goals. Your only objective each day should be to inhale and exhale for sixteen hours before you go to bed again. Don’t read anything informative, don’t listen to anything useful, don’t do anything productive. If you start achieving goals, you might start to feel a sense of excitement, then you might want to set another goal, and then your miserable mornings are through. To maintain your misery, the idea of crossing off your goals should never cross your mind.”

—John Bytheway | How to Be Totally Miserable

“If you’re bored with life, if you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things, you don’t have enough goals.”

—Lou Holtz

“I’m going to enjoy every second, and I’m going to know I’m enjoying it while I’m enjoying it. Most people don’t live; they just race. They are trying to reach some goal far away on the horizon, and in the heat of the going they get so breathless and panting that they lose sight of the beautiful, tranquil country they are passing through; and then the first thing they know, they are old and worn out, and it doesn’t make any difference whether they’ve reached the goal or not.”

—Jean Webster
