A goal, simply defined, is an aim or a purpose, or the mark set as a limit to a race. Your goal in life is, therefore, what you aim at, what you want to do or achieve within a certain specific time. Everybody is heading towards some sort of destination but not everybody likes their destination when they get there.
Some have a clear destination in mind but board a bus, soto speak, which is going to a different destination from what they have in mind. So your goals must always be reinforced by choices in line with your stated goals. You can't have a goal to be a dentist and go to college to major in graphic design. In the same way, you can have a goal to own your own business and be lazy and dependent at the same time!
What Is Vision?
Vision is the mother of goals.
Vision gives birth to goals. In order to set achievable goals, you must have a vision. You must seen the future in your mind's eye and imagine how it would look and feel like when you get there.
A Vision is....
A vision shows you the future before you get there. It allows you to see way ahead of the things that are happening around you. It takes your mind to places that lie beyond your current circumstances. People live aimlessly and perish when they are not able to see life beyond what they see and feel right now.
Where there is no vision, the people perish. Vision is a clear picture of what you desire to achieve or experience in the future. We are sustained and kept live our lives without any clear picture of where we are headed or what we want to do with the talents and opportunity we have, without a clear sense of where we are going and where we want to get to, we we settle for any destination. Without vision, we will accept anything that comes our way and allow other people to set the agenda for our lives.
