About This Quote
If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. This is a humorous saying that refers to the power that goals have over us. There are many things that go into the formation of goals, but at the end of the day, they are just goals. When we set goals for ourselves, we are giving them life.
We are giving them our wants and desires. We are giving them power over us. And once they are given life, they are bound to make us feel better or worse about ourselves.
Some people think that having goals is a bad thing because it means you are trying to be something you aren’t. But what do you want? If your goal is to be a master at baking cakes, then you must learn how to bake if you want to achieve that goal. If your goal is to become rich, then you must work hard at it if you want your dream to come true.
Life is not about avoiding things; it’s about achieving them.
