- George S. Patton

About this Quote

This quote by George S. Patton is a reminder that when striving for high goals, it is important to be gotten ready for the resistance that may come from those around you. It is natural for people to be reluctant of modification and to be wary of those who are pushing for something various. It is essential to acknowledge that this resistance is not necessarily a bad thing, but rather a sign that you are pushing yourself and challenging the status quo. It is important to remain focused on your goals and to not let the opinions of others discourage you from accomplishing them. It is likewise essential to keep in mind that individuals who are against you might be doing so out of love and issue, and it is very important to be considerate of their feelings. Ultimately, it is important to remain real to yourself and to not let the viewpoints of others stand in the way of your dreams.
