Difference Between Career and Goals

How can we differentiate between career and goals?  For example, my goal is to earn a lot of money, but my particular job and career path, as well as the unemployment ratio in my field, do not enable me to achieve this goal. 
Bigger is better.  Do not belittle yourself.  Think big.
With al the hype about thinking big and being big and doing big thins, it has now become hard for us to imagine there being any value in thinking small and doing small thins.  But there is.  Your goal to earn a lot of money is a typical big picture goal that many people have and struggle to achieve.  What few people realize is that to achieve that big goal you need to take small steps.  Like my mother often told me, the ocean is made up of several drops of water.   Similarly, there are things you can do today, smaller targets, which will move you towards your bigger goal, like saving money, enhancing your skill set and networking with key people.  Having lots of money is an end result, and your career is one of the means of achieving this result.  But keep in mind that just having lots of money dose not necessarily equate with being successful.  For example, you could also gain lots of money through other means, like playing the stock market or even robbing a bank, but these means, while equally effective, may not match your personal value system.  Thus, success is not a Destination, just obtaining lots of money; it is journey, the process of getting that money, which is ultimately your career path.
