The future is both a scary and exciting thing. It seems to be that the most commonly asked question by anyone is "where do you see yourself in five years?" Or 10 years? Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of that question. There is a lot that can happen in five years. In a perfect world, we will all have that job that we’ve always wanted or potentially have a family. Sadly, that is not how reality works. Life isn’t perfect, neither are the events that happen in life. Honestly, who knows what will happen in five years?
Becoming successful seems to be the expectation for where we should be in five years. As typical as that is, maybe that isn’t what anyone wants. We all want something different in life, so why should we treat everything the same? Our future is our own so it should be treated like that.
On the opposite side of that question, maybe we will understand why the events that fell apart actually happened. There are things that happen in our life that we can't necessarily understand why. As cliché as this is about to sound, things work out for a reason. Even now that a couple of years have past, I understand why certain things needed to happen.
Five years from now, the biggest thing I would hope for is to be happy and travel abroad. That’s just me though, it can vary from person to person. Where we would like to be is all our own plan. Five years from now is such a broad statement and can be a bit overwhelming. What isn't overwhelming is taking it day by day and taking everything in stride. Here's to you and to the future that you plan for.
