Goals are something that, generally, we set for ourselves. 'Life purpose' or 'why we are here' is something that, usually, we have to discover. If we try to set goals that conflict with our 'life purpose' we tend to encounter many difficulties and struggles. Once we understand our Life Purpose and set our goals accordingly, we find much help and encouragement in achieving them.
Both long-term and short-term goals are desirable. Many people don't consciously have 'goals' or don't recognise that they do. Everyone, however, is setting themselves a goal the minute they decide to do something. Often there is no question in their mind that they will not achieve it, so they don't see it as a 'goal' because it is well within their 'comfort zone'.
From time to time it is good for us to set goals that are a little outside our comfort zone. This keeps us flexible and always growing and tends to increase our sense of achievement (which gives us more self confidence) and also our ability to learn from mistakes.
In short, goals are under our control. Life Purpose is usually something that is part of our character and either due to our particular talents or defines them (depending on your belief system) and is inherent. Everyone should try to discover their Life Purpose because only then can we really live in harmony with ourselves.
