"We are never further from what we wish than when we believe that we have what we wished for"
- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
About this Quote
This quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe talks to the concept that often times, when we think we have actually attained our objectives, we are actually further far from them than when we initially began. This is due to the fact that when we think we have accomplished our goals, we become complacent and stop pursuing more. We become content with what we have and forget to keep pressing ourselves to reach our complete potential. This quote serves as a reminder that we need to never ever end up being complacent and must always aim to reach our objectives, no matter how close we think we are to achieving them. We ought to never forget that we are capable of accomplishing more and should never settle for anything less than our best.
