In ten years, well before I hit 40, I want to have accomplished the following:
- Travelled abroad for a year
- Completed another Ironman triathlon
- Taken a trip with my brother
- Hit a six figure salary
- Paid off my house
- Visit my mother's family abroad
- Get my masters
- Develop a side business
- Reached my 13th wedding anniversary
- Be healthy
- Be happy
- Be satisfied
I have little doubts that I can accomplish all of these things. I'm blessed with a lot of luck - family who cares and is responsible, living and working in a successful industry and job market, decent decision-making on my part thus far.
Today when I felt like a failure, with tears in my eyes, by husband held me and wouldn't let go. He said that I needed to remember to give myself a break sometimes, and remember my accomplishments. He's right. I'm more than what I look like or what I eat or what size I am or if I'm the fastest or the best. I get so focused on my daily failures that I forget about my lifetime successes. I can be all of those things I want to be in ten years. I need to remember that.
