Do all goals have a clearly defined end result?

While it might seem intuitive to think that clearly defined end results are necessary for all goals, this perspective doesn't take into account the variety of goals that exist. The correct understanding recognizes that not all goals can be easily measured or have a specific endpoint clearly defined.

Many goals—especially personal development goals or long-term aspirations—can be subjective. For instance, a goal like "becoming a better person" lacks a definitive conclusion since what constitutes "better" can differ dramatically from person to person. Therefore, it doesn't fit into a straightforward structure of having a clearly defined end result.

Measurable and tangible goals, such as achieving a certain sales target or completing a project, do indeed have clear end results. However, in the realm of personal aspirations and growth, many goals can be ongoing and may not have a fixed end point, indicating that the assertion that all goals must have a clearly defined end result is not accurate.
