19 Ways to Set and Reach 7 Life Goals

Too often, when you pick up a book or article on goal setting and goal reaching, you encounter a variety of terms, some of which are helpful, but many that can cloud the issue. What's the difference between an objective and a goal, a goal and a strategy, a priority and a strategy, a tactic, a maneuver, a mission, a mission statement, and so on? There are information sources that define these terms in ways that make sense, but for simplicity's sake, a goal is something you want to reach or a desired outcome.

In pursuit of your goals, you may rely upon action steps, strategies, tactics, maneuvers, or what have you. The terms that you use are largely irrelevant. You set a goal, you do things to reach that goal, and you then reach the goal. Then, you set another. Does this sound good?
