Danica Patrick Quotes

Set stretch goals. Don't ever settle for mediocrity. The key to stretch is to reach for more than you think is possible. Don't sell yourself short by thinking that you'll fail.

Unless a man undertakes more than he possibly can do, he will never do all he can do.

If people are not laughing at your dreams at least once a week, you are aiming too low!

Always let your reach exceed your grasp.

If one fails to develop goals that give meaning to one’s existence, if one does not use the mind to it’s fullest, then good feelings fulfill just a fraction of the potential we possess. True happiness involves the pursuit of worthy goals. Without dreams, without risks, only a trivial semblance of living can be achieved.

Nothing is too high for a man to reach, but he must climb with care and confidence

The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.

Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do.

Set goals that don't feel all that easy, that challenge you, stimulate you, and give you a chance to stretch and push yourself. That is where the power of growth lies.

There's nothing wrong with having your goals really high and trying to achieve them. That's the fun part. You may come up short. I've come up short on a lot on my goals, but it's always fun to try and achieve them.

We must remind ourselves that to do what is possible we must sometimes challenge ourselves with the impossible.

With greater confidence in yourself and your abilities, you will set bigger goals, make bigger plans and commit yourself to achieving objectives that today you only dream about.

You have to have a high conception, not of what you are doing, but of what you may do one day: without that, there's no point in working.

I'll do everything I can to reach my potential.
