“A dream without a goal is wishful thinking.”
Quick question: are dreams same as goals? 🤔
I used to think they are exactly same but I’m convinced they are not. Although both are closely related, in the sense that dreams give birth to goals. On the other hand, it’s almost impossible to achieve a dream without a goal.
That said, I believe a number of differences exist between the two of them and I shared that in this video.
Quick summary :
1. Dreams don’t really require effort but goals do. It’s the difference between thinking about something versus acting on it.
2. Dreams , although they motivate us, they are abstract (picture of an ideal future) ; whereas, a goal is concrete as you can encounter its outcomes/results
3. Dreams don’t have deadlines whereas goals do.
4. Dreams inspire and motivate us but goals change our lives.
5. Dreams are free and cost almost nothing but goals require sacrifice and commitment.
I see it this way: it all starts with a dream, a desire, an aspiration but then when we decide and commit to make it happen by a given timeline , then it become a goal.
What do you think? Are dreams and goals same or different?
Irrespective, one thing I know for sure is that you’ve got what it takes to achieve your wildest dreams, just make them a goal and go get them.
