“A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder.”

                         -Thomas Carlyle

       A rudder directs a ship and which direction to go. This would symbolize your goals because this is how your goals can push you in the right directions. Without a rudder where would the ship go? Without any goals where would you go? NOWHERE! When it comes to making goals, it helps you create a path to victory. Everyone has at least one goal, sometimes they may not know it or realize how it can benefit them. No matter how small, goals are goals. Let them direct you like a rudder on a ship and guide you to victory!

“If I’ve got correct goals, and if I keep pursuing them the best way I know how, everything else falls into line. If I do the right thing, I’m going to succeed.”

                 -Dan Dierdorf

This quote shows how only those with good intentions will fully succeed. As only doing the right thing will forever benefit you. Eventually all your hard work will pay off from being the best you can be. As if you act kindly and make the right choices, then you will be seen well. One can always be seen by their intentions and whether they are good or bad. If they are good, all the other things will fall into place as you work to accomplish the goals. But if you have the wrong intentions and choose to do them the “easy” way, then there would be consequences. As well as also it would be more difficult to fully accomplish what you want. So it is better to make the better decisions, as everything will eventually fall into place.

"In life as football, you won't go far, unless you know where the goalposts are." 

                                          -Arnold H. Glasgow

             Arnold H. Glasgow’s quote shows that if you have no goals in life, you won't be able to do anything. A person must set goals to have success in their lives, as it allows them to try their best. Referring this to football, the goalposts would be a literal goal that you make for yourself. It is true that in life that an individual ha goals to accomplish. But without at least one goal, you probably wouldn't be able to push yourself to your highest potential. Sure, like in football you may be knocked down before making the touchdown. But you eventually have to give and keep on trying until you do. That is how life is, you must keep trying until you succeed. Once you do succeed, you can make another goal to accomplish.

Physical Fitness

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a health body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. Intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong.”

                                           - President John F. Kennedy

President John F. Kennedy is stating that not only is it good to stay in a healthy shape, but it is needed. As it allows your body to work at the best it can! I never truly expected Kennedy to state such a thing. But it makes sense, as it is the truth. If one was not healthy and weak, then they wouldn’t be capable of working as hard as they would want to. It allows you to understand how you must care for yourself, as you can be healthy and strong. As you can be very energetic and use your brain to your best ability, this would be because you would be in a good shape. It's best to take care of yourself physically so you can take care of yourself overall.

“Goal setting is goal getting. Set and get”

                             -Mark Victor Hansen

Mark Victor Hansen is stating that when you set a goal, you go for it. As you would not set one if you don't even try to accomplish it. So after you set on a goal, you do your best to complete it. This is close to the Life Planning journals we’re creating for this month. As each day we write down a new goal, but also state how we are going to try to be victorious. This started this month of October, I have set 2 goals. I am to go get these goals, as well as accomplish them all. It may take some time, but you will eventually make your goals. As you’re set, now it's time to go out!  You will only be able to accomplish your goals if you stick and set to finishing them.
