Dreams vs. Goals

ByMatthew

A Goal Without a Plan is Only a Dream… – Brian Tracy

Dreams are nice.

They are wonderful.

They are absolutely necessary.

Without dreams the world wouldn’t change for the better.

With dreams your life won’t change for the better.

*  *  *

But dreams are not enough.

You must create, deploy and update a plan for the dream.

That’s how dreams transform into goals.

That’s how dreams are made real.

By creating a plan and working on that plan, consistently, and updating the plan where/when necessary.

Adapting to the changing reality that is created when one begins taking steps towards making their dream a reality.

Plans allow you to turn a dream into an achievement.

But only when they are goals that are worked on.

What are your dreams?

Which ones do you really want to make real?
