That is a great question Gary. It feels like definitions and differences might vary depending on personal perceptions.

For me a goal is something fix. An objective is more elusive.

For instance my goal might be to swin 50 meters in less than one minute. My objective can be to be always improving 1% every day.

A goal is the target, the destination. An objective is the practice, the journey.

How would you define those two terms, Gary?
