Short and Long Term Goals

I can explain the differences between short and long term goals by comparing then to bowling and golf. Bowling is short term because you can see what you want to accomplish right away by seeing the pins. You only have one tool to work with to get them down. There is only two outcomes, you can either hit the pins or get the ball in the gutter.

Golfing is long term because you can't see what your aiming for right away. A person has many tools to get to the hole. Along the way they're are obstacles, be it a sand trap or water hazard. You are not alone in making a decision because you can always consult with your caddy. From the start you drive the ball has hard as you can. It can land on the green, rough or out of bounds my slicing. Eventually when you get to putt, it is more rewarding getting the ball in the hole.
