Jonathan Haidt Quotes

The summit is what drives us, but the climb itself is what matters.

Every day is a new opportunity to reach that goal.

When you set goals, something inside of you starts saying, "Let's go, let's go," and ceilings start to move up.

The real value of setting and achieving goals lies not in the rewards you receive, but in the person you become as a result of reaching your goals.

If I'm to accomplish my goal of being the world champion I've got to be better; so every day I come in here with a goal, and that's to get better.

Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor.

Whenever you set a goal of any kind, you will have to grow and develop to the point where you are ready to achieve it.

Feeling lost? Take a dream and convert it into small goals, then start taking the steps to hit those goals.

The goal ever recedes from us. The greater the progress the greater the recognition of our unworthiness. Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is full victory.

Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.

The direction in which we are moving is more important than where we are at the moment. Goal setting should cause us to stretch as we make our way.

There is no great fun, satisfaction, or joy derived from doing something that's easy.

When I won the world title, I am not going to lie, it was an unbelievable feeling. It was like a weight off my shoulders, a goal I'd set myself for so long and one others had talked about. When I got there I realised how I am never satisfied and how I always want more.

Everything along the way has made me the competitor I am.

I just need to improve.

My target is enjoying and proving to myself that I am progressing.

I'll keep growing as a player, keep working out, trying to become what I want to become.

I want to do everything to get to a new level.

I had a very successful 2014, but I have got to keep aiming for bigger and better things, so the world title is my goal.

Even if you're not ready to live at your full volume, turn it up halfway and get there.

I've got my head screwed on in the right direction, for the most part. It may be turned a little bit to the left, but we're getting there.

I'm constantly working towards my personal improvement.

Success isn't about reaching your goals; it's about striving for things, like the joy of trying to raise a family, trying to be a successful singer, trying to write good songs, trying to be a better person. It's that old thing about life being about the journey, not the destination.

I think, personally for me I always work on the next goal and wanna figure out how to achieve it.

I'm not dreaming of any podiums or any medals that I can put around my neck. I'm just focusing on what I need to do today in order to be better tomorrow.
