When it comes to personal growth, knowing the difference between short-term and long-term goals is important for making progress.

Short-term Goals:

• These are goals you can achieve in a few weeks up to a year.
• Think of them as little steps that lead you to something bigger.
• Examples:
  • Reading one book every month
  • Exercising three times a week

Long-term Goals:

• These goals take several months or even years to reach.
• They often show what you really want in life.
• Examples:
  • Finishing a degree
  • Gaining financial freedom

From my experience, short-term goals help keep me excited and allow me to celebrate small successes. On the other hand, long-term goals guide me towards my bigger dreams.

When you balance both types of goals, it creates a clear path forward.

Think of it like building a bridge: each short-term goal is like a plank, bringing you closer to the strong structure of your dreams!
