#goal

The end of a melody is not its goal: but nonetheless, had the melody not reached its end it would not have reached its goal either. A parable. ↗

I have a new name for pain. What’s that? The Obliterator. Because when you’re in pain, nothing else can exist. Not thought. Not emotion. Only the drive to escape the pain. When it’s strong enough, the Obliterator strips us of everything that makes us who we are, until we’re reduced to creatures less than animals, creatures with a single desire and goal: escape. A good name, then. ↗

— Christopher Paolini

Perseverance means to continue in a given course until we have reached a goal or objective, regardless of obstacles, opposition, and other counterinfluences...Perseverance is a positive, active characteristic...It gives us hope by helping us realize that the righteous suffer no failure except in giving up and no longer trying. ↗

...it's very much like your trying to reach infinity. You know that it's there, you just don't know where-but just because you can never reach it doesn't mean that it's not worth looking for. ↗

When you can have anything you want by uttering a few words, the goal matters not, only the journey to it. ↗

Nothing is as real as a dream. Responsibilites need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you, NO ONE can take it away. ↗

Dream your dream; and realize that you are more than just the dreamer, you are the point of origin for its reality. ↗

If you don't have a well-thought out dream, you can start by figuring out where you want to go. If you cannot see yourself fairly or accurately represented in the community you live (from restaurants to department stores to clothing choices to conversations at the dinner table) and nothing there makes you feel awake or alive, I suggest you start doing some research on some other communities. ↗
