Ian Somerhalder Quotes

When we have no goal, or when our vision of the goal is obscured, we may lose our sense of purpose. Even when we've prepared ourselves well and have an aptitude for a given activity, poorly directed efforts can rob us of vital energy. We can spend a great deal of our time, money, and other resources running around in circles. Unless we create specific goals that match our purpose in life and unless we keep a clear vision of these goals, we may eventually falter and fail.

Without vision, even the most focused passion is a battery without a device.

Realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies and puts you to work digging gold.

Knowing where you're going is all you need to get there.

The big thing is that you know what you want.

Clarity of vision is the key to achieving your objectives.

I'm a huge believer in visualizing achieving the task before it happens.

You can have the best product in the world, you can have the best motivation in the world, you can have best education in the world, you can have all the money in the world - but if you don't have direction, you'll never go anywhere.

I'm a big fan of intention. That's because I have learned first-hand the power of setting my intention on my goal and making all decisions based off of that intention.

I've got loads of ideas, but I need some structure in my life. I need a mission.

When you know what you want, you know where you want to go.

I'm very objective driven, so for me it's very important to know who I'm fighting, when I'm fighting, and roughly the direction I'm working in. It gives me that little extra push to do what I need to do to get the sessions, to work towards something.

Visualize your ultimate goal and then do the work to make it happen.

You have to know what you want to get it.

If you want to do something you have to imagine it. If you don’t imagine it, it will never happen

If you don't have a vision, you can never be focused in a direction.

I would visualize things coming to me. It would just make me feel better. Visualization works if you work hard. That's the thing. You can't just visualize and go eat a sandwich.

Without the ability to visualize a goal and believe it will be reached, nothing of substance will be achieved. Not by anybody. Not at any time. Not in any place.

Priorities and purpose help keep us on track.

You must see your goals clearly and specifically before you can set out for them. Hold them in your mind until they become second nature.

You must always know what it is that you want.

Having a mental snapshot of where you are, where you are going, and what you are moving toward is incredibly powerful.

If you get clear on the what, the how will be taken care of.

The more clear you are about what you want, the more motivated and determined you will be to accomplish it.

You need to realise that you must have something to aim for, something to drive you.
