To achieve a goal, you need a plan. Without a plan to achieve the goal, the goal is unachievable. Therefore, when somebody has a realistic plan to achieve a goal, it is reasonable to encourage them. Without a plan to achieve their goal, their goal just becomes nonsense.

I'm aware of what a goal is. Did you ask what the plan was to achieve the OP's goal before you started bashing the goal itself? Besides that, I don't think it's unrealistic to expect that sometimes goals are just a starting point (here I am today) and an end point (this is where I want to be/what I want to have/do in X amount of time). If the path itself isn't clear, I don't think it's necessarily a big deal. As soon as you establish the goal, you'll find yourself working towards it. Perhaps more often you'll reach your goals in ways you didn't (or couldn't) expect.
