Self Accountability...Where will you be in 5 years?

cinderella · 03-11-2010, 05:25 AM

Hopefully, not dead. In 5 years I'll be 72, so who the hell knows? I just want to be healthy, and be able to take care of myself - that will be enough.

I've spent the biggest part of my life trying to please other people be they parents, partners, employers or friends. My resolution back in January of this year was to live for me, please me and not worry about pleasing other people.

So this year I'm working on myself. Not self esteem, I don't have a problem in that area. Rather my inner self, my mind, getting myself to a place where, I don't get upset when I'm not pleasing other people all the time.

I am hoping to have chest surgery before I'm 50, and in that time span I need to loose some weight so the surgeon can do a better job with it.

I have had Plantar fasciitis for 2 yrs, it healed last year about this time and then I partially tore my achilles tendon. I've been unable to do any lower body exercising during that time and I don't need anything muscle building above the waist. So I'm trying to make myself exercise every day. This is hard because it makes my ankle sore to use it alot, long or up hill walking, riding the bike etc so I'm going to try to get into better physical shape somehow. This is a prerequisite I set for myself before chest surgery.

Within five years I hope to have either changed jobs or changed careers. This one will be hard but I feel like it is what I need.

Last but not least, I'd hope in five years time I'd have found someone to share my life. Might happen you never know if it doesn't then it doesn't matter it will happen when God deems me ready for that journey

I will be where I am meant to be.

If you asked me five years ago where I would be today - I sure wouldn't have said where I am now.....
