“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” Zig Ziglar

Zig Ziglar was born as Hilary Hinton Ziglar in 1926 in lower Alabama. His mother was a single parent of eleven children after his father died. Two weeks later his youngest sister also passed away. So he faced a lot of hardships growing up. Zig achieved a lot of his goals in life at the price of his wife and children. He didn’t realize how much his ambitions hurt his family, when he was offered a job in Dallas he didn’t realize how it affected his children at a very crucial time in their lives. He made amends later in life after finding faith.

I can relate to this quote because I am trying to reach my goals at the present time and it has not been an easy road, but with Gods will and grace I will achieve what I have started out to do. I feel that achieving a goal on its own can be satisfying, but if you become a more compassionate, observant, appreciative, experienced, empathetic person by achieving your goals then you have reach a higher level of understanding.
