When You Achieve a Goal Continue the Race

Motivational Power Quote


When You Achieve a Goal Continue the Race


“The riders in a race do not stop short
when they reach the goal.
There is a little finishing canter
before coming to a standstill.
There is time to hear the kind of voice
of friends and say to one’s self: the work is done.
but just as one says that, the answer comes:
The race is over, but the work never is done
while the power to work remains,
the canter that brings you to a standstill
need not be only coming to rest.
If cannot be, while you still live.
For to live is to function.
that is all there is in living .”
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.


As I see it. . . . . . . .
When you achieve a goal continue the race

When you closing in on your goal stay focused on the outcome and reach out to grasp the goal at hand.

When a goal is achieved it’s not the time to stop, it’s an opportunity to stretch yourself and grasp the next opportunity.

When you achieve your goal the race is not over it’s a stepping stone.

We succeed through using each goal as stepping stones to greater achievement.
