Yesterday I turned 27. Not a big deal. Young for some. But for me it seemed like a turning point. When your 18 you don’t think about getting to 27. And it is so close to 30. You really start to think about where you are at in life and what you have accomplished. At least I did. I asked myself yesterday, “Did I accomplish in the last year what I wanted to?” The answer was no. I am not where I want to be at this point. At least financially and personal development wise. I am very grateful that I have accomplished my family goals so far. I have a wonderful husband and a beautiful daughter and another baby on the way. But I had to look in the mirror and yell at myself for not working harder and smarter and taking full advantage of life’s opportunities. So I made a pact with myself that every day I will evaluate my progress and ask, “Did I accomplish what I wanted today?” And I will look forward to Birthdays from now on to see what I have accomplished in that year and for years to come. So here is to living life and not just existing!
