Four days before my 23rd birthday I have realized that, I have lost sight of my life goals. I believe that it happened sometime during college most likely during the end of my sophomore year. The next semester I switched majors and ever since then I’ve been kind of going with the flow. Not really knowing where I was going and why, it’s disconcerting to me. When I started college, I pretty much had my whole life planned and mapped out. But looking back now I realized that I really didn’t have much of a plan I just had a few dreams and ideas in my head. What about now, I recognize that I still have some of those dreams and ideas in my head, and it’s time to get them and the new ones in writing. I always feel a since of commitment to something if I write it out and put it on a list. I always make list, I guess it’s my OCD kicking in. I function on list, without a list, I’m utterly lost.
Right now they are all lumped together and not really defined as time goes on I will elaborate and probably add on goals. My life goals are:
1) I want to visit Egypt
2) I want to visit Japan
3) I want to visit England
4) I want to visit France
5) I want to visit New York City
6) I want to visit California
7) I want to visit Hawaii
I want to take a cruise through the Caribbean
9) I want to became a published writer
10) I want to custom build a house
11) I want a emergency fund = to 9 months of living expenses
12) I want a net worth of 1 million dollars
13) I want to be debt free by retirement
As you can see, that’s a hefty list. I have reasons for wanting all these things but like I said I’ll fill that in later. How close am I to any of these goals? Nowhere near close.
