Dreams and Goals



















We started our 2nd semester exploring the large topic of dreams and goals.

What is the difference between Goal and Dream?

We all have dreams – dreams to do something good, dreams to achieve something, dream to excel in something, dream to earn but have you ever thought what is the difference between Goal and Dream?
Goal is the way to achieve your dreams. Goal is a dream with solid action. Goal comes with timestamps. No words for goal like ” I’ll do it some day”, ” I wish to be..” or  ” Hopefully it will happen at some point”. Goal has specific time limit and prompt action – DO IT NOW; CHASE IT NOW.
Never mix up success or failure with goal. Chase it, if you fail learn from it, set a new time stamp and chase again. Keep laser focus to your goal and hard work is the mantra of success. Success is a journey. No body can get success in one day. You have to earn it.

With this text we started exploring our dreams and how to give them legs.

We were lucky to have to guests Taylor and Kimberly joining our group.
Kimberly shared her life story, spoke about her dreams she had as a young woman and how her dream changed over time and how she achieves her goals.

Kimberly said her good-byes with a personal note for each FLC member:
‘Aim high, don’t be satisfied with the norm – raise the bar.’
Words she learned from a wise woman while visiting Caye Caulker.
