Daisaku Ikeda‎"Those who give up dreams, do injury to their own hearts and cannot possibly enjoy a profound sense of fulfillment in the end.
About This Quote
Many people have their goals in life. They want the best for their family, they want to make a difference in the world, and they want to do something significant with their lives. But most people put their goals on a shelf and don’t pursue them. That’s a mistake.
If you don’t make a goal a priority, you may find yourself in a stagnant situation where you’re doing the same thing every day and doing it well, but not really progressing. You may also end up in a place where you aren’t passionate about your work anymore and are just coasting through life. In either case, your goal will always be there in the back of your mind, waiting to be pursued.
