What is the difference between a goal and a purpose?

A goal is a specific objective we want to accomplish in the near future. Goals are what we do. Purposes are why we do what we do.

Do you belong to Lions for yourself or to help others?

Your purposes should be to help other. Your goals should be to make others self efficient. As we start this New Year, we must look at our goals and purpose, not only in Lionism but in our own lives. If we can understand what our purpose on this earth is about, our goals will become clear. We must be honest about ourselves and the world around us. Goals come and go, but purposes survive because they are long term.

What is your purpose of being a Lion?

Are your goals helping you in that purpose or hindering Lionism? We all must evaluate why we are in Lions.

What is your purpose of your “Paw Prints in the sand”? 

Pres. Don Becker
