About This Quote

What do you believe about life? What are your goals? How do you want to live out the rest of your life? It’s hard to figure out what the next step is after setting goals. This quote helps you focus on what’s important. Notice that it doesn’t say “What are your goals,” but “What are our goals.” That means that you have to value others as much as you value yourself.
