I am currently on Day 02 - Where you'd like to be in 10 years.
Do you think this question would be easier answered if you were already married and/or if you had all the children you planned on having? yes? no? maybe so?
I remember back about 9 years ago or so one of my employees asked me where I saw myself in 10 years. I told him it was impossible to answer as I had no way of knowing if I would be single or married, if I would be childless or a mother. He said it shouldn't matter and I begged to differ. Hindsight being 20/20, he was right. It shouldn't have mattered. One can come up with a 10 year dream-self regardless of one's circumstances. I was just a kid then and didn't know better.
The only fair way to answer this is to break up the idea of 10 years into different categories.
Love Life - Please God let me be happily married in 10 years time.

Children - Assuming I am married, please let me be a mother to at least one child (but preferably three)

Home - In 7 years, my first and only house will be paid off. I kinda hope to be in a new home in 10 years time. It doesn't have to be new-new, just new to me (the custom built one I've been designing in my head for years would be AMAZING, though...). Of course, if I'm not married, it wouldn't make sense and I would be perfectly content staying in my then paid-off home.

Work - Let's face it, if you know me at all and my work situation, you know that I'm not going anywhere. I would just hope to have even more responsibility and to continue to grow in my skills/confidence/leadership and to better tame the beast that sometimes rears her ugly head.

Health - I will still be on the right path of living a healthy life in mind, body, and spirit. My diet will still follow the guidelines of The South Beach diet. I will still maintain an active lifestyle - focusing on cross training and running. Hopefully I will have multiple marathons under my belt. I better be maintaining my goal weight!!!!

Friendship - I will have maintained my supremely fantastical friendships while hopefully making some new lasting ones.

The outlook is good for a happy, healthy 10 years into the future, y'all.
How's yours?
