my ten year goals

Someone please tell me that I am not the only one who gets incredibly anxious when “where do you see yourself in five years?” “what do you want to do with your life?” “do you have a ten year plan?”.

Those are all questions that I have been asked, and my responses were always, “oh you know, probably working, it would be nice to get married and have kids at some point too.”

Well today, I am going to list my top ten, ten year goals.

Its hard to think that in then years I will be 30, times seems to move so fast and unbearably slow all simultaneously.

1. My first goal for the next ten years, is to be able to make blogging/YouTube my full time job. I know that’s a pretty lofty goal, and that some would say unrealistic. While that may be true, I know that I can do virtually anything that I set my mind to.
2. Own a home. I hope that by the time I am 30 that I own a house. I know that being a homeowner comes with a lot of responsibility, and that it would be much easier to just rent a home, because the repairs and maintenance are the homeowners responsibility. I don’t think I would ever really feel at home living in another persons house.
3. Travel to all 50 states. America is the best country in the world, and has so much beauty and history to see.
4. Get married. This isn’t something that I can do on my own, or that I really have much control over, but when I think of my future in ten years, I think about being married, and having kids.
5. Have a few cows, I know its random, but I really want a pet cow. No I couldn’t ever eat them. Yes I know they are a lot of work. Yes I know they are expensive. And yes, they would just be giant pets!
6. Go skydiving. I’m not going to lie, I hate the feeling of falling. It terrifies me. But better way to face my fear of free falling than to skydiving?
7. Go cage diving in Hawaii with sharks. I just think that going cage diving with sharks is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and who wouldn’t want to see sharks up close and personal?
8. Write and publish my own book.
9. Learn how to surf, I love the ocean, and I have always wanted to learn how to surf, but I live on the West Coast, and the ocean is freezing.
10. Find something I am passionate about, and start a nonprofit.
