Goals are stepping stones and are fulfilled one step at a time.
Dreams are for a lifetime and are never finished.
Goals have finite parameters which can be identified
and simply achieved with some taking longer than others.
Dreams are born of the heart and soul
and therefore are not subject to external constraints or restrictions.
Almost all goals have been defined extensively by society or the government.
Dreams begin with unconditional curiosity.
Some goals are unique and novel,
but the achievement thereof is still governed by specific guidelines.
Goals are based upon knowledge and rules.
Dreams are based upon insight and wisdom and expand accordingly.
Goals are spiral-bound.
Dreams are spiritually bound.
Goals produce samples.
Dreams produce examples.
Goals leave an impression in the sand.
Dreams leave an impression on the soul.
Goals produce an inheritance.
Dreams produce a way of life.
