The only way to discover the limits of the possible, is to go beyond them to the impossible.

Desire alone is not enough.  But to lack desire, means to lack a key ingredient to success.  Many a talented individual failed because they lacked desire.  Many victories have been snatched by the underdog because they wanted it more.  So if you desire - intensely - and you act upon it, then everything stands within your reach.

The purpose of goals is to focus our attention. The mind will not reach toward achievement until it has clear objectives. The magic begins when we set goals. It is then that the switch is turned on, the current begins to flow and the power to accomplish becomes a reality.

When you reach for the stars, 

you may not quite get one, 

but you won’t come up with a

handful of mud either.
