10 years from now...
I was on my way out this morning at 5.27am... I know it's wrong.
Anyway I have been reading a book called The Magic of Thinking Big, and it's pretty interesting.
This kind of merges with something I read years ago, it might be in one of the Seven Habits books.
The premise is that each of us overestimates what we can achieve in a year, but massively underestimate what we can achieve in 10 years.
Big talked about the same idea, except picture the life you want in 10 years, your house, your finances everything and they break that 10 years down into 120 1 month goals. All of a sudden it doesn't look so daunting.
I sat there thinking about this on the train. 10 years. I could completely reset my life. I could set out on a completely new career. Actually I could do absolutely anything. wow!
Think about it for a second. Guys can start working and be financially independent within 5 years, these are actually children who are vastly less experienced to most of us.
So then my creativity cut in. What would my ideal job be if I could do absolutely anything. In 10 years Zack would be 22, I'm going to rapidly be approaching 55 eeek!
What kind of 55 year old do I want to be?
Where do I want to be living?
What am I working as?
Who are my friends?
How am I physically?
So many questions, all of which lead me forward in a different directions. But this also takes me back to my old idea of a personal black belt pathway. What if I break that 10 years down into 10 dans and each of those into 12 belts within each dan. In 10 years I will be a 10th Dan black belt in me.
I think this has something, so I am going to pursue it as hard as possible. My first goal is going to be to set my 10 year plan in place.
