Michael Phelps Goal Quotations

I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.

I see my goals as personal and I always have. That's just been how I've worked.

At a very young age, I wrote down the goals that I had so I could always see what I wanted to accomplish. And I would look at that goal sheet and think "I still want to do this."So I'd decide "I'm not quitting."

I wanted to do something nobody ever did. This goes hand in hand with my goal of changing swimming.

If I want to achieve the goals I've set, I've got to be in tip-top shape.

I think with practice, you can being whatever you want to be, and with a goal you can go in any direction that you want to go in.

I knew I was not a failure in any way, and so did those close to me. It doesn't matter if you fall short; it is never a failure to go after your goals with everything you've got.
