All that being said, after I read the post I wondered why I had not just read it that day. She makes some really good points. No president is going to make my life change for me. Obama is not going to complete those applications for me, nor will he help me figure out what I want to do with my life! I have to be the one to have the motivation to take the steps to become who I want to be and accomplish what I want to do.
This conversation in my head made me think back to my very first post on here, 25 things before 25. I am exactly one month shy of my 25th birthday and I am not sure I have actively been achieving these goals. Here are the things I still needed to complete:
25 things before 25:
1. begin a healthy romantic relationship/
9. figure out career plan
10. see asthma specialist
15. talk to financial advisor about loans/savings
18. help out with dad's business (ad campaign, sales)
19. learn to be on time!!
22. buy a car
23. apply to grad programs/grants/scholarships/fellowships
25. make/stick to a budget
I did knock off a few things I had left, but still have a ways to go. I guess I really have no control over #1 so I may just count the 2nd half of it as completed. I do have plans to discuss a business plan with my dad when I go home for Thanksgiving in a few days so I should be able to put some ideas into motion before my 25th. I am going to look for cars this weekend as well and had set a deadline of Dec 1st (that is probably NOT going to happen). I am almost done with my applications, so they WILL all be submitted by Dec 19th! I am going to use my extended weekend to work on the other items on this list so that some progress can be made by next week. I really want to do this! It is time to start setting goals and actually sticking to them! I have got to be the Obama of my own life!
