Why is it important to set goals in life? First of all, it focuses your acquisition of knowledge, helping you organize your time and your resources so that you can make the most of your life. This gives you long-term vision and short-term motivation. Motivation is very important and keeps us going every day. So setting a simple goal and possibly promising yourself something in the end can power your motivation.

So how can you strive to reach these goals? Here are a couple strategies: Use a journal, diary, calendar, or app to track how you are doing. Commit to your goal by saying it out loud and reminding yourself each day. Write a story or draw a picture to envision how your life will change when you reach your goal. It is also important to decide in advance when and where you will perform the tasks that will help you reach what you are striving for. “All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.” says Orison Swett Marden . Set your goal, look to your future, and forget the past. This is how you can reach your goal and get where you need to be.

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
