Ten Years From Now

There are many thing that I want to do in my life. So many that I've come to the point where I have to start prioritizing and reorganizing them. But the main goal that I have in my life is to be happy, so whatever that means, that's where I want to be.

In ten years I could definitely see myself married. I have a girlfriend of three years, but you never know how things like that go. I definitely want to be settled down with someone by the time I'm 30 though.

A second part of my life that I want to focus in on is my faith. In ten years I hope to have grown a lot in my faith and being an active member in my church family and community. I think that these are very important things to making someone successful, because I believe that nothing that you do is accomplished without God being first in your life.

Now when I think about ten years down the road and my career, I honestly have no clue what I am going to be doing. I would like to have graduated in CSM and went on to received a master's in business administration. Hopefully with that resume I could land a decent job with a major construction firm in a large city somewhere. I would like to maybe be a project manager, estimator, or even a financial officer for a design-build corporation. These would all be very financially rewarding jobs and I could support my family pretty comfortably. But then there is always the part of me who wants to have fun everyday getting up and going to work. And in that case, I would probably work up some capital and start investing in real estate. I'd like to buy and sell houses and flip some as well. Maybe I can start out working with a big company and once I get grounded with some money I can go out on my own.

So, I guess I have a rough outline of what I would like to do in the next ten years, but there are several bridges that need to be crossed before i get there. I can honestly say that I am happy when I think about the future. I have a great family, great friends, a great girlfriend, and a great God. Now will all of those things supporting me, I think that the future is pretty bright.
