Dreams & Goals

What’s the difference between a dream and a goal?  You can google this question and get a sleugh of different answers.  I chose to turn to the Google dictionary definitions:

DREAM:  A cherished aspiration, ambition, or ideal.

GOAL:  The object of a person’s ambition or effort; an aim or desired result.

You can take from that what you want, but the way I see it is -a dream is an idea for the future that makes your heart sing, and a goal gives you direction to take control and make your dreams come true.

Life isn’t about finding yourself.  Life is about creating yourself.  -George Bernard Shaw
