Life purpose, Vision, Dreams and Goals are not mashed toghether as one. I would like to explain the true fine line between each of them and how it is linked to one another.
First thing first, set a life direction that should be the guiding light in setting your vision, dreams and goals. Everyone has only one life direction that is called the LIFE Purpose. Then define a LIFE Purpose statement as detailed as possible that truly matches with the most meaningful or fulfilling things you have done / to be done in future. As for me, my LIFE Purpose statement is "To help myself and other finding peace and happiness to achieve harmony and strike balance in life".
With Life Purpose clearly defined, go to set your visions that are the same as Dreams. Ask yourself what do you want to be in order to achieve your life purpose. The most common dreams such as buying bangolow, won luxury cars, be asset-rich, debt-free, ect. If there are only things you dreams, then you are having a RESTRICTED dream that only benefit yourself and family. Remember our success and wealth don't just create by you alone but is the result of many other people's effort in the business world who had helped us one way or any. We should be thankful to many of them who may not know us and eventually CONTRIBUTE back to the society. You might want to have a vision to be an caring ambassador in a big charity project that will provide support and financial aids to million of needy. If you stops after the first dream, you will find yourself stuck and mid-life crisis may happen to you. Move on to another dreams and strive for it.
To achieve your dreams and visions, you needs to set action plan that is your goals. Set a SMART "short-term" goals to measure your performance in achiving certain target that closer to your dream. Encourage yourself to do something every day and you will find you have progress more at the end of a week or month. Stretch yourself by setting goals is very challenging. The more mistake you make, more chance to do correction and more sucessful you become.
To summarize, first define your LIFE Purpose statement. Then set your vision or dreams to be completed within a specified timeframe. Plan your action with challenging goals. After achieving your dreams, set new one also aligned with your life purpose and set new goals. Life long education is only possible if you keeps on setting new dreams.
Be a winner in your heart to unleash hidden power within you.

Hi,
I love what you've written here about goal setting and making it real. I wrote a short piece for our newsletter that I'll share with you here, since it's on the same theme.
The power of Vision
Would you like more passion or energy in your life?
Would you love to know your calling?
Would you like clarity in decision making?
If the answer is yes, then what's stopping you now? When we ask this in
workshops we get answers like 'Fear', 'limiting beliefs,' 'past negative
experiences' – and this is all true. But what many people don't realize is that if
their vision is not clear enough and real enough for them, then all those other
obstacles are going to seem way bigger.
Embodying Attraction
So many people are aware of 'The Law of Attraction' and yet can't seem to get it
to operate effectively in their own lives. They 'know' it but don't 'embody' it.
Emotionally connecting with what you want (feeling the peace of that lake home;
feeling the joy of that new relationship) makes all the difference. In other words,
who are you in the wanting? What qualities do you embody?
Root system
If you don't like the fruit your tree is giving you, don't blame the fruit, take a look
at the roots – your emotions. If you're acting out of anger, fear or frustration the
fruit will be bitter. If the roots are sweet (acting out of joy and a sense of purpose)
the fruit will be sweet.
Making life sweet
So here are just a few tips for holiday season to enjoy the sweetest fruit.
Each day:
1. List 5 successes no matter how small (even flossing your teeth!)
2. List 5 things you are grateful for (health, good friends…) and choose
different ones each day
3. Give to others – a compliment, a card, even just a smile.
4. Treat yourself – doesn't have to be big. Just make sure (at least once a
week) you indulge yourself a little.
5. Create a vision board (pictures of what you wish to manifest, and make
sure you have a picture of yourself in it). Add power words and phrases.
Seeing positive, related images vastly strengthens and speeds up the
manifestation process.
3. Holiday Gift Idea!!!!
On the theme of vision - check out this fun website: www.visionyourgoals.com
Created in New Zealand, this a computer version of a vision board.
Not only is it a powerful tool, at only $39 it's also very inexpensive and a wonderful
holiday gift.
