Where do you see yourself in 6 months, 1 or 3 years from now?

Good Morning, or Good Afternoon or Good Evening, 

this post should take approximately five to eight minutes to read from start to finish.

I would like to ask you the following questions; you can either ask yourself these questions either now or in your free time. Have you ever seen goals in a short-term preseceptive before? If you have ever set some short-term goals before, what were they and how did you achieve them?

Perhaps have you ever thought about asking yourself where do I see myself in six months from now? Am I still employed where I am currently working at? Do I have a higher position at work? Would I still be on track of achieving towards the career that I always wanted to do?

How about one year from now or three years from now? Have you ever thought about asking yourself where do I see myself in one year or three years from now? How old would I be by then and what would I be doing? Am I still employed where I am currently working at? Would I have a higher position at work? Would I be on track towards the career that I always wanted to do?

"If not now ...., then when?"

Let us reflect on what accomplishments that we were able to achieve six months ago, one years ago and three years ago. I would like to share with you a few examples of my accomplishments.

Six months ago, I moved to Texas, United States and eventually hoped to be married successfully to my husband at the time. One year ago, I was still newly employed at Tugun Domino’s store, and I was waiting for the USCIS {United States Citizenship and Immigration Services} to approve the K-1 {fiancè visa} Petition that my husband has submitted in September 2018.

Three years ago; I heard that I have got my mission call. Apparently I was called to serve as a Self Reliance missionary of Australia Brisbane Mission, I was preparing to receive my endowments, I moved out of my family’s home for the second time. I remembered meeting up with stake president about mentioning mission papers and I shared what I have heard about the mission papers.

I was still employed at my first ever Domino's store at Richlands for a few months and I was working at another Domino's store at Calamvale for working more hours during peak shifts.

I didn’t ever thought that from me not ending up serving a full-time mission or a young church service mission when I was twenty-one years old, I was able to meet my husband towards end of that year and it was a few months prior to turning twenty-two years.

I didn’t ever thought the day would come for me to hit me and make me cry as I was going through customs and walking as I was looking for my gate to catch the plane from Brisbane Australia to start my journey back to Texas, United States for good. Well at least, I know that I would come and visit Australia for vacations. It is still indefinitely for me to come back to Australia and live. 

One year ago, I didn’t ever thought that last year would be so much like a roller coaster. There has been some great memories, a few bad memories and just memories that has helped me to be really prepared to move away from my family’s home on the other side of the world. Eventually having my husband to move in with me on the day when we got married.

Stay tuned until next time.
