A few years ago (not so many... maybe two), a friend asked to interview me for one of his management courses. Part of it was asking me specific questions about visualizing where I wanted to be in two years (aka: now). In a nutshell they were:

- I wanted a friend in a similar place who could be a mutual support (divorced w/ kid(s)). We could offer each other advice, babysitting, etc. I was lonely for someone who 'got it' and having that support was important to me.

- I wanted to have my own place. At the time, immediately after the divorce, I was helping out my mom and she was helping me, but entering my late 20's I'd still never once lived on my own.

- I wanted to live in a community where my daughter had a good school, as well as be able to afford some extra-curricular activities to round her out.

- I wanted my degree (bachelors) to finally be complete (trust me, going to college, working full time, and being a single parent is exhausting).

- I wanted to be about 40lbs lighter. Being in a crappy relationship and w/ a guy who clearly didn't want me to be back to my pre-prego weight meant that I was eternally unhappy with my body.

Fast forward to now (2 years later), and I've accomplished all of the above. The strange thing, is that I didn't really focus all too hard on any of it, I just kept slowly moving forward. That same friend reminded me of this just recently. I'd forgotten that I ever set those goals in the first place.

I was thinking about this tonight and thought I'd share.

good job
i wouldn't think of any of those things as accidents. it takes focus and commitment to set goals in your life and then achieve them. some goals are easier to reach, but that does not diminish the value. having done so much in such a short time has kept you too busy to realize exactly what you have done. i guarantee i guarantee that having reached those goals has re-energized your self confidence. you go girl, i give you three snaps in a "z" formation (bulldog double guarantee - patent pending)

That is awesome. It is visualization at work. Often you can just speak or list your goals or write them down, and that will happen.

It's called practical magick.

So does anyone else know where they want to be in two years?
Care to share?

I'll have to think about that. I guess right now I am just living from day to day.
