YouTube monologue (Mark Evans DM, Jan 24, 2024) distinguishing dreams from goals. The speaker argues many people claim large outcomes (e.g., "make a million dollars") but lack a structured, realistic plan; he contrasts 'dreaming' (unstructured wishful thinking) with 'goal setting' (clear, structured path).
I think about goals way different than most people do. Here's what I mean. I think most watching this video set dreams, not goals. It's a big difference. I was talking to a guy yesterday. He's like, yeah, man, I want to make a million dollars a year. Okay, what do you make this year? 50,000. Okay, you've been making 50,000 for the last nine years. Why do you think you can make a million dollars now? To me, that's not a goal, that's a dream. Dreams and goals are two totally different mental functions. You start dreaming, you get in La La Land, you're thinking about rainbows and unicorns. Goal setting has a very clear structure and a pat get there.
