- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Goal Setting The importance of Goal Setting "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success." - Vincent van Gogh “Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them; a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.” - Muhammad Ali
