Do you have goals, aims or neither in life?
Everybody talks about how important it is to have goals, but I disagree. A goal has to be specific, measurable, and has a deadline. (For example, retire at 60 years old with x dollars in the bank) ...

Great thought provoking thread you started OP!
Goals? Aims? Two of several labels we use in everyday life. Aren't they the same thing? Isn't the interpretation personal to each and everyone of us? Most of us know about the corporate preaching years ago of setting SMART goals etc, but not all goals are SMART just because someone else decided that SMART should be a formula for them.
I am a goal setter and my hubby is an aimer (LOL).
My hubby has an aim to reach the bathroom before it's too late with undesirable results.

Don't we have the same intention to achieve the desired end result?
In all seriousness though, folks that say they don't have goals and don't plan, I find that an impossibility. We all have goals, plans and aims many times a day in all of our daily lives, some are just more elaborate goals/aims/plans than others depending on our nature, but we all have goals and plans.
Each night my goal is to make it to bed and I aim to wake up the next morning to another beautiful day, what about you?
