Goals Quote by Susan Jeffers
““The sense of "having a goal in your life "will put you in the side of "giving" instead of "getting" … most of people focus "more" on what they want from their lives and that could lead to thinking in a (victim-of-life) way ... when you start to play the role of a person who's having a meaning and a goal for his/her life, you will get back the self-esteem you deserve.””
