+Intention and Aim are often used interchangeably; they mean "the thing you plan to do or achieve.<br>Intent generally refers to the mental objective behind an action.<br>
+The concept of intent is often the focal point of Criminal Law.
+A goal is an outcome we want to achieve, while an objective is a specific and measurable action that can be reached in a short amount of time, often related to a goal.<br>
+A goal is long-term, so it's something we work towards.<br>
+Our goals may thus be some way off in the future and thus take time to achieve, even years in some cases!<br>
+An aim is a single statement of the purpose.
