goals
What you pursue
Goals are aims or objectives—outcomes you want to achieve.
A goal can be concrete (score a goal) or abstract (my goal is to be more patient).
In sports, a goal is both the target area and the act of sending the ball or puck into it.
Goals imply intention and effort: you set them, work toward them, reach them or fall short.
