I think I need a whole-life makeover.
I don’t have it bad. I realize that. There are tons out there who are far worse off than I am. That’s not the point. The point is that I want more. I want to live, not just exist. I want to be able to do things at the drop of a hat. I don’t want to have to plan for years for the least little luxury. I want to be able to spoil the ones I love, and I want to be able to give back to my community without ending up in need myself.
I don’t think this should be all that hard.
I have been blessed with a good brain, a nice imagination, and a phenomenal support network. I know that if I can just formulate a plan to make my way in this world that I will have no problem in the follow-through.
I have spent the last few years trying to come up with some way to both make a better-than-average living and make myself happy in the process. I have mentally beaten myself senseless trying to think of something, anything, that will make this pipe dream a reality. I have a good head for business, I’m great at organization and planning, and I have the people skills to make almost anything work. So why is this so hard?
Today, I have decided that maybe, instead of trying to pull a plan out of the ether, I should focus on exactly what it is I want to gain out of life. Maybe in doing that I will see a pattern emerge that will lead me down the path I need to take. So here it is – my list of goals:
1. I want to be making at least six figures/year within the next ten years.
2. I want to be able to travel extensively.
3. I want to work outside the standard office environment.
4. I want to be able to feel like I am creating something, not just providing a service to someone.
5. I want to work in a field that allows me to be as creative as I desire being.
6. I want to work for myself.
7. I want to be able to work from anywhere, not just a set location like a store or office.
I think that’s a good start. I might add more as things pop into my mind.
Now, anyone know what my next step should be? Is there some magic question I need to ask myself that will help me figure out where to go from here? Any help would be truly appreciated…
