Without a vision, the people perish,
     - Proverbs

It is critical that you write down your goals and define a time that you want them accomplished. Often goals are not written because people do not want to fail. Some people consider it a failure if they do not meet the goals in the time frame identified. 

If you do not make a goal on time, it is not a failure. It is merely another obstacle to overcome. Goals are a target or process, they are not a destination. 

If you do not make the date, you still have the goal. Simply refine the plan and change the date. The goal, the dream, is still unchanged. 

     A wag has said if you do not have a target you are sure to hit it.

     People do not often plan to fail; however, they often fail to plan.
     - adage

Goals are time related. Goals and objectives may be short, intermediate, and long term.

1.  Write 3 goals you want to accomplish in the next year.
2.  Write 2 goals you want to accomplish in the next 3 years.
3.  Write the goals you want to accomplish in 10 years. 

Notice the 10 year goals tend to be less definite. Start working on those today.
