Are you waiting for your dreams to come true and change your life? I am sorry to tell you that dreams don’t come true.Rather, it is your goals that can forever change your life. You need to set goals in order turn your dreams into reality.

你正在等待你的夢想成真借以改變你的生活嗎?我很遺憾地告訴你，夢想實現不了了。事實上，可以永遠改變你的生活的是你的目標。為了把你的夢想變成現實，你需要設定目標。

Don’t confuse dreams and goals. Dreams are easy. They are free, too. However, dreams by themselves are just that… dreams. They are imaginary. And they don’t produce tangible results. You need to turn your dreams into action. You need goals to make the visions of your dreams real.

不要混淆夢想和目標。夢想來的容易，而且還是免費的。然而，夢想本身只是夢想，它們是虛構的。而且他們產生不了觸手可及的結果。你需要把你的夢想變成行動，你需要目標使你的夢想變成現實。

Dreams can inspire you, but goals can change your life. Goals are all about action. Goals change you and can change your life. What will it take to turn your dreams into goals?

夢想可以激勵你，但目標可以改變你的生活。目標都是關乎行動的，目標可以改變你，也可以改變你的生活。怎樣才能把你的夢想變成目標?

Here are 10 Big Differences Between Goals and Dreams:

這里是目標和夢想之間的10大差異：

1.Goals are something you are acting on. Dreams are something you are just thinking about. Goals require action. Dreams can happen without lifting a finger, even while you are asleep.

目標是指你可以采取的行動，夢想只是你的思考。目標則需要行動。夢想，不用動動手指頭就能擁有，甚至在你睡著的時候。

2.Goals have deadlines. Dreams are just, well, dreams. Goals must have a deadline. They have a time limit. Dreams can go on forever. In fact, many people maintain dreams their entire lives without ever reaching them.

目標有最后期限，夢想只是夢。目標必須有一個期限，它們有一個時間限制。夢想可以永遠繼續下去。事實上，許多人一生都在夢想，卻從來沒達到夢想。

3.Dreams are free. Goals have a cost. While you can daydream for free, goals don’t come without a price. Time, money, effort and sweat. How will you pay for your goals?

夢想是免費的，目標是要付出代價的。雖然您可以免費做白日夢，但不付出努力，是無法實現目標的。時間、金錢、努力和汗水，你愿為你的目標付出什么?

4.Goals produce results. Dreams don’t. Want to change your life? Your job? Your status in life? Goals can do that. A good friend of mine made six-figures on the ebook he published. He did that. Had it stayed as a dream, his life would have been as it always was.

目標產生結果，夢想則不會。想要改變你的生活?你的工作?你的生活狀態?目標可以實現這些。我的一個好朋友靠發表他的電子書賺了幾十萬。他做到了。如果只是作為一個夢想，他的生活依舊是老樣子。

5.Dreams are imaginary. Goals are based in reality. You may dream of being Superman, but that is probably not going to happen. Goals are about what you can actually accomplish. They are grounded in the reality of our world. Goals should be big, but not supernatural.

夢想是虛構的，目標是建立在現實中的。你可以夢想成為超人，但這不太可能發生，而目標則是關乎你可以完成的事，它們是以我們的現實世界為基礎的。目標應該宏偉，但不會超越自然。

6.Goals have a finish line. Dreams never have to end. Dreams can go on forever. They don’t have to have an ending point. Goals must have a specific outcome.

目標有終點，夢想從來不會結束。夢想可以永遠繼續下去，它們不需要有終點。目標必須有一個特定的結果。

7.Dreams can inspire you. Goals can change your life. Dreams can bring you motivation. They can inspire you. But, goals can change your life forever.

夢想可以激勵你，目標可以改變你的生活。夢想可以帶給你的動力，它們可以激勵你。但是，目標能永遠改變你的生活。

8.Goals must have focus. Dreams don’t. Dreams can be drifting, ever-changing thoughts. Goals must be laser-focused. They must be specific and they must be always on your mind.

目標必須有重點，夢想可以沒有。夢想可以是漂浮的、千變萬化的想法。目標必須是有聚焦的重點的，它們必須非常具體，同時必須時刻在你的腦子里。

9.Goals require hard work. Dreams just require your imagination. Dreaming is easy. Almost everyone has a dream. But, fewer people have goals. Goals are hard and they require hard work.

目標需要努力工作，夢想只需要你的想象力。擁有夢想是容易的，幾乎每個人都有一個夢想。但是很少有人設立目標。目標是艱難的，而且它們需要我們的努力工作才能實現。

10.Dreams stretch your imagination. Goals stretch you. Dreaming leads to bigger dreams. They stretch the limits of your imagination. But, goals stretch you. They increase your skills, your abilities, and change you forever.

夢想拓展你的想象力，目標會拉伸你。夢想讓你越做越大，它們延伸你的想象。但是，目標會拉伸你。它們提升你的技能、你的能力，而且改變你的一生。

Sometimes it only takes one step to change a dream into a goal. Yet, it can take years to take that goal to the finish line. Always dream big, but make sure your goals are just as big. Because dreams don’t come true… but goals do.

有時讓夢想變成目標只需要一個步驟。然而，實現這一目標可能需要數年時間。夢想要大，你的目標一定也要大。因為夢想不能成真…...但目標可以。
