I'm kind of confused by this terminology... wouldn't that mean if Purpose = reason for doing something, wouldn't that reason be a future goal? Which means that goal/pupose are about the same?

Or is it that, for example if you're goal is to be an astronaut, your purpose is to read a book to become an astronaut and have a happy life?
