life goal
Long-term personal aim
A life goal is a major objective someone hopes to achieve over the long term—becoming a doctor, raising a family, traveling the world.
Life goals shape decisions and give direction: One of my life goals is to write a novel.
They're distinguished from shorter-term aims by their scope and the years required to pursue them.
