Dreams Are Life Drivers

After years of setting and achieving goals, creating smart goals, making them ambitious yet realistic, I came to this conclusion. Goals are good and take life further. But they're not enough. They are house fundamentals, car's engine. Yet the beauty and great taste of life come with dreams, that is goals that don't have a practical purpose or a deadline.

I'm keeping the goals but I added dream list.

1) Be a serial entrepreneur.
2) Live in Venice, Singapur and London for 6 months each.

Growth: higher goal category

1)First level of strategic behavior is setting goals.

2) The next level is setting goals that are strategic.

They are something bigger than tactical goals. A tactical goal says, how you want to something, for instance go to English course, read 30 pages a day. A strategic goal states where you wanna be, for instance become a professional writer by a given years, set up a grocery business that'll give me personal profit of 60k USD a year by a given year.

3) 3rd level of strategic thinking is about dynamics. It's about setting goals for areas you're in to make them ever better. This works both with tactical and strategic goals

For instance, if you'd like to be a writer, the strategic level goal would be: each year publish +1 book (1 in the 1st year, 2 in the 2nd, 3 in the 3rd, etc.). A growth tactical goal would accompany this strategic goal: get more effective to write more pages per week.
