“Why can’t your dreams have deadlines? What if
you took your goals as seriously as, let’s say, a project at work or a
deliverable to a client? Aren’t your aspirations just as important, if not more
so? Then start by giving your goal a deadline. Commit to it. Commit to
yourself. You deserve it."

Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, pages 75-76
It
is only a dream until you write it down; then it becomes a goal.
