Do you set goals? Do you have dreams?
What is the one thing that separates these two from reality. The answer is simpler than you might think, and this next states it perfectly.
"The difference between a goal and a dream is a deadline". - Steve Smith
I think it is very important for all of us to have goals; whether it be at work, with family, or in competition. I have found that when people have goals (write them down and post on the fridge), they are more likely to accomplish that particular task. When we set a goal for ourselves, it helps to keep us on track and stay focused on the big picture. Of course, the goal/s have to be realistic. If for instance you set a goal of losing 30 lbs in 2 months, you most likely will have a very hard time accomplishing that goal, and will only set yourself up for failure...you are most likely dreaming. However, if the goal was to lose 15 lbs in 2 months, the goal is more realistic and is an attainable goal.
Don't be a dreamer, be a goal setter.
