One of my therapists talked about macro/micro goals to get from here to there.

macro -- (very large in scale or scope or capability)
micro -- (extremely small in scale or scope or capability)

The macro goal is the life the person envisions. A micro goal is one of many that break down the process into more manageable parts as a means of achieving the macro goal.
