Love this quote from Josey Wales and found it to be something I can continue to quote to 'stay on target' towards my goal, maybe it will help someone here as you have given me inspiration, I will attempt to reciprocate.
Have you ever set a goal and failed to achieve it? One common reason this happens is because you may not have had a strong, burning desire to make that goal happen.
Make sure every goal you set is of VITAL importance to you. This can be tricky because we so often fool ourselves into thinking we want one thing when we want something entirely different.
Take some time to get to the heart of what you REALLY want. Why do you want it? What will it do for you? What positive things will it bring to your life? How will it help you? How will it make you feel when it's accomplished?
Write all of this down and keep it handy so you can refer to it as often as necessary if you feel your commitment beginning to slip.
Also ask yourself if your goal is worth the effort and sacrifice that will be needed to achieve it. If you can honestly answer yes, you are on the way!
You are much more likely to pursue your goals relentlessly if you are driven by a powerful desire to achieve them.
"Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win - essential to success." - Napoleon Hill
Have a great day!
