Summer is coming up and you and your family already planning a vacation for the summer. This calls for a family planning, and they sit down and start discussing how the plans are going to be, this might be for some hours, minutes or even days as the case may be. The Husband might decide to rent a space Wagon for the journey to Miami. In this case, Miami is the goal and essential footprints to getting there are you objectives.
Right in this article i will allude to the above-mentioned analogy to explain this goals, objectives and the relationship and differences between this two.
What are goals and objectives? It's quite confusing and skeptical when differentiating this two terms, the easiest way a goal can be described is that they tell you your final destination, in other words it's a place one wants to be - spiritually, physically, intellectually.
Basically a goal represents a future we crave for and it acts like a focal point to where we literally want to go in life. Miami, just as indicated above.
While on the other hand objectives are the techniques and patterns to achieve your goal. In any given goal, thousands of objectives are welcomed. Just as the above illustration about objective, renting a space Wagon for the Miami vacation. Additional objectives are welcomed to the goal of reaching Miami by conceiving in your heart that you will drive 6 hours daily (that's one objective). And also, objectives plays a key role in life, they serve as an indicator that informs you that you're on the right track of accomplishing your goals.
Speaking about indicators, if you take the road from New York to Miami, on your way you'll come across cities like Philadelphia, Washington D.c, Baltimore and Jacksonville. All this cities serves as an indicator that shows you you're on the right track and you should keep moving.
All the same, there is a systematic difference which will assist you to differentiate between objectives and goals. Let's a take a glance at them below;

First off you should know that goals and objectives are two sides of the same coin. A coin will bring no value to you when you just have only one side of it- it's only when we they are united that's when they serve the real purpose.
Goal are always available to provide proper direction to where we want to go in life. Literally there's no bigger picture and no motivation to chase without a goal in the first place.
A goal is just an empty chaff in our heads without no objective. With the help of an objective, were being given the technique needed to achieve our goals in the long run. It's a waste and a mindless action to have an objective without a goal. I can just command a little child to study math for 5 hours, but what will that amount to. It's this simple, It's very simple, if you don't want to be a mathematician then there's no point of you studying math like never before.
The same thing would be with the family vacation example.
