Quote of the Day (Alfred Adler, on the Importance of Setting Goals)

“In each mind there is the conception of a goal or ideal to get beyond the present state, and to overcome the present deficiencies and difficulties by postulating a concrete aim for the future. By means of this concrete aim or goal the individual can think and feel himself superior to the difficulties of the present because he has in mind his success of the future. Without the sense of a goal individual activity would cease to have any meaning.”— Austrian medical doctor, psychotherapist, and founder of the school of individual psychology Alfred Adler (1870-1937), The Science of Living (1929)
