Goals vs. Dreams

 All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. ~Walt Disney

Goals and dreams.  They are the same right?  No, both are different in some way and it may help explain how your mindset is in constructing in completing those tasks that we have set.  This sounds cheesy to say but Time Management Ninja quoted that "Dreams occupy your mind. Goals take over your reality." This phrase is so true, because often times people set up a hope to accomplish something either with no way of achieving it or no plan on how to get there.  I am not saying dreams are not a bad thing to have, because I have many dreams.  However I know they are dreams because they are very far out there, not saying I might not accomplish them one day, but I do have many goals that are far out there, that I can definitely attain.  So the "10 Differences Between Goals and Dreams" according to Time Management Ninja are...

1. Goals are something you are acting on. Dreams are something you are just thinking about. 
2. Goals have deadlines. Dreams are just, well, dreams. 
3. Dreams are free. Goals have a cost.
4. Goals produce results. Dreams don’t.
5. Goals have a finish line. Dreams never have to end.
6. Dreams can inspire you. Goals can change your life.
7. Dreams are imaginary. Goals are based in reality. 
8. Goals must have focus. Dreams don’t. 
9. Goals require hard work. Dreams just require your imagination.
10. Dreams stretch your imagination. Goals stretch you.


Now please don't get it confused that I am saying dreams are bad, all I am trying to get across is the difference between goals and dreams.  Many people don't understand the difference and I think with this perspective it can help you focus on what is truly important in your mindset to motivation towards what you want to accomplish in life.
