Oddly enough I’ve never really sat back and thought about my goals or what I would like to achieve. That being said I decided to do exactly that. Between today and five years from today, these are the 5 things I would like to have accomplished…
I really want to start earning my own income for once and I have always enjoyed making money. Ever since I broke my neck 11 years ago I have not made any money on my own and I have not worked. Within the next five years my goal is to reach the point where I am making no less than $120,000.00 a year. That will give me just enough money where I won’t have to depend on Medicaid or Medicare for my health insurance and I will be okay without my social security disability income. One way or another I am going to accomplish this goal.
My second goal for the next 5 years is to purchase each one of my children a vehicle. Growing up I had eight brothers and sisters and my parents didn’t make a lot of money so none of us got cars until we were old enough to get them on our own. Whether it’s a high school graduation present or just because they need it I would really like to be able to do that so that they can just focus on building their future.
Let’s see… Goal number 3… I would really like to take my family on a cruise. So that’s my mom, my little sister, her two kids, my other little sister, her two kids, and then me and my two children. Maybe from California to Hawaii and back or something out of Florida, the Caribbean? I’ve always wanted to go on a cruise ship and I can picture one with lots of water slides and a go-kart track on it as well as a full Casino Maybe? I don’t know it just sounds really nice to go on a cruise and just be out in the middle of the ocean with nothing else around.
This brings us to goal number four… I really want to start driving again and I know it’s possible. In fact I see my primary care doctor in the middle of May and he is going to send me over a referral to this team that will get me set up. I’m just going to have to figure out how to pay for it. Before I couldn’t drive after I broke my neck because I was having so many muscle spasms. Now that I got the baclofen pump implanted I hardly have any spasms so I would really like to start driving again. It would be really awesome to drive myself to the family reunion I was on my way too when I broke my neck. Plus I have always loved driving and I can’t wait to do it again. It just takes away my tension and stress.
My last and final goal for the next 5 years is to find somebody with a two-seater race car of any kind and get to go at least 160 mph. I would love to see what it’s like to get closer to 200 mph down a drag strip, just because I’ve always been a speed Junkie and I’m passionate about drag racing but I’ll settle for 160 if I have to.
Now that you’ve read my five goals for the next 5 years what are your goals for the next 5 years? What would you like to accomplish where would you like to be? Please comment fill me in and let me know. Follow along and together let’s see where I’m at in 5 years. I’ve got big hopes and dreams and lots of confidence. I know one thing for sure I’m going to accomplish something big in the next 5 years!
Anyhow, be positive and keep pushing forward one day at a time. Don’t forget that it can always get worse. Being positive attracts positivity. Don’t forget… If donkeydidit… You can too!
