Are you confusing dreams with goals?
Every so often you should ask yourself:
Am I confusing my dreams with my goals?
To answer this important question lets consider some simplified definitions:
A dream is an imagined vision you have of yourself at some point in the future. "I dream of owning a house" or "I dream of graduating University" or "I dream of walking on the Great Wall of China one day."
But to reach those broad dreams, you need to take actions - each individual goal is a single step, that can be measured, taking your closer to your dream.
So when you reflect on your goals you'll want to make sure they are:
- actionable, not vague
- achievable in a reasonable time frame
- measurable - how close are you to finishing one goal?
Once you have a better sense of this distinction you can continue dreaming, but ensure you have specific goals to make those dreams come true.
