Shoot Really High...Cori Gauff

"My goal was to play my best. My dream was to win. That's what happened. I think people just kind of limit themselves too much. Once you actually get your goal, then it's like, 'What do you do now?' I like to shoot really high so that way I always have many goals along the road, but that way you have the ultimate goal."

--Cori "Coco" Gauff, 15 year old professional Tennis player (2019)

Work On Your Goals Every Day...Holly Mosier

“Perfection of effort is not required, by the way. It is the consistency of attempting to work these tools that brings the progress. It’s like anything else. If I want to tone muscle, lifting a ten-pound weight a few times every day will move me toward my goal much quicker than hoisting a fifty-pound barbell once a week. Yes, it really is true: “Slow and steady wins the race.” Just try a little, every day. You’ll see.”

--Holly Mosier

Setting Your Priorities...Richie Norton

“You gotta make it a priority to make your priorities a priority.”

Achieving A Better Future!...Nona

Live out your imagination, not your history. 

–Stephen Covey

Change is one of the hardest things to do. To view what seems like the familiar with fresh eyes takes conscious effort and renewed hope that things cannot only be different in the future, but also better. The adversity and resistance that is surely to occur as we attempt to do something new must not discourage us from attaining our new goals or perceiving life from a different perspective. Realizing that change is hard, pace yourself. Expect to be physically and mentally exhausted on some days. Get your rest, include things in your schedule to renew your spirit and keep pressing forward on your new path.

--Nona O.

Be Persistent and Accomplish Your Goals!...Tyra Banks

“If you have a dream and you have a goal, and you knock on that front door, and they won’t allow you in, go in through the back door. If the back door is locked, go through the cellar. If that’s all boarded up, climb your butt through the window, but get in!” 

--Tyra Banks
