The highest goal is what gives real meaning to life.
It is what speaks to the very core of our being. It is what makes us feel connected to something higher than ourselves, whether we call it: God, Truth, Spirit, Being.
It is what truly motivates and sustains us, although we may not be able to put it into words, or even be consciously aware of it. It is this ultimate goal, rather than worldly goals such as prestige or money, that is the true motivator of all successful people.
