Vision

The past couple of months, I've really been focusing on the future.  On MY future.  This is quite abnormal for me, as I'm usually just a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of person as far as LIFE goes.  Sure, I'll train for races and plan my workout schedules in order to accomplish a physical goal 9-12 months down the road, but I've never expanded this to life in general, and certainly not 5-10 years out.  I've always just thought that life kinda just happens and you have no control over it.

Lately, however, I've been looking at the bigger picture.  I've started to dream and allow myself to think of the possibilities out there that I could go after.

I recently came across this worksheet, which I will be thinking about and filling out this weekend as I ponder my future.  I'm ready to commit myself to do the work required to get to where I want to be and how I want to feel 10 years from now.

Have you thought about your future lately and what goals you have for yourself?  Maybe this will help organize your thoughts.  If you're like me and you've never really given it proper thought, perhaps this will inspire you to get your brain churning!

The balance, of course is to still recognize and be grateful for what you have NOW and not be disappointed that you don't already have what you have outlined as your goal 10 years from now.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.Epicurus 


Appreciate and respect the process.  Don't give up.  Keep at it.  Review and remind yourself of why you've made the decisions you have, and keep your goals in mind.  Afterall,
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.Elbert Hubbard
