10 year class reunion, am I where I expected to be?
By emdoozie. Posted in emdoozie Insight |
Boy I just got that dreaded invitation in the mail! It’s time for my “10 year class reunion”. The quintessential point in your life when you start evaluating where you are, where you’re going, and if you’re where you thought you would be. Mind you I was the person quoted in the year book saying, “I will be a very wealthy man in 10 years”. Laughing…
Have I done it? Any many areas yes, since we all know wealth isn’t just about money and things. My life is wonderful other then the financial piece. I have a wonderful marriage that’s going on 2 years, great friends, and a huge loving family that does everything together. I have a great job (temporarily hopefully) were I enjoy working, while I have to.
So what’s my problem? Within myself I know that I am on the right track to getting exactly where I want to be. I have many projects going on currently that are taking me closer and closer to my goals, but should I be further along at this point? No. I believe every failure I’ve had thus far has brought me closer to my goals, so coming into this time of self evaluation I am quite proud of myself. I don’t compare myself to others, but to my own expectations, and as you all have read in previous posts those expectation are large and real. No “pie in the sky” here.
Well today is August 12, so I have until November to polish off the rest of that wealth I was supposed to have! Laughing… I’m actually glad I set such a high goal back then, because though I’m not “Wealthy” at this point I have never forgotten that quote and have been working towards it since then. Striving for such a great goal on an exact time frame has brought me so far and further than I would have gone if I had no goal at all.
How was your class reunion(s)? Did you find yourself evaluating how far you have come and how your life has changed since you last saw all your class mates? Set any new goals since? If not you should, challenge yourself and see how far you can go by the next one. You don’t know what your capable of until you try and believe you can!
“We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter’s evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.”- Woodrow T. Wilson
