Quotes to ponder:

“They put pressure on us to achieve, to get certain things done. Pressure is stressful, and not always in a good way.”

"Goals are a way of saying, 'When I’ve accomplished this goal, I will be happy then. I’m not happy now, because I haven’t achieved my goals.'”

“When we achieve the goals, we don’t achieve happiness. We set new goals, strive for something new.”
