These two words are similar and are often used interchangeably by many of us. The word “aim” means the point intended to hit. It refers to an object or level designed to be attained or affected. It is a long term plan. An example of this is: “My AIM in life is to make money to take care of my family and take care of everyone that comes my way.” When you aim for something you see, try to see a bigger picture of a particular situation in the future.
On the other hand, a goal is the desired result. It refers to the result that a person is attempting to achieve. It is the final point a person intends to reach. An example of this is: “Mary failed in her goal to become the captain.” Goals usually form the subset of an aim. I hope you find this information helpful.
