What You Become By Reaching Your Goals

by JD

“Everybody has their own Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb.” — Seth Godin

Goal setting is a powerful tool for personal development.

In Your Road Map for Success: You Can Get There from Here, John C. Maxwell writes:

“Retail department store founder J.C. Penny declared, ‘Give me a stock clerk with a goal and I will give you a man who will make history. Give me a man without a goal and I will give you a stock clerk.’  Penny recognized the power and importance of goals.  While you work on them, they work on you. And what you get by reaching your goals is not nearly as important as what you become by reaching them. “

Striving for your goals is how you grow and expand what you’re capable of.
