Goals vs. Dreams
The major differences between Goals and everything else
Goals require action items… Dreams are merely things you think about.
Goals take work… Dreams can happen while you are asleep.
Goals have deadlines… Dreams are just that, dreams.
Goals must have a time line… Dreams can go on forever.
Goals have measurable results… Dreams don’t any level of accountability.
Goals produce results… Dreams don’t. You can’t change your life with a dream.
Goals must have a specific outcome… Dreams can inspire you.
Goals can change your life… Dreams can bring you motivation.
Goals require hard work… Dreams just require your imagination.
Goals must have focus… Dreams don’t. Dreams can be drifting, ever-changing thoughts… Goals must be laser-focused. They must be specific and they must be always on your mind.
Goals have a cost… Dreams are free.. While you can daydream for free, Goals don’t come without a price. Time, money, effort and sweat. How will you pay for your goals?
Dreams stay in your mind… Goals take over your being, your body and your thoughts. At the pinnacle they become intertwined in every fiber of your soul that drives you, with the passion and hunger to succeed in every aspect of your life.
That is what goals do for me and that is why I find myself always saying,
“Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do.”
