I had a bit of an epiphany on the way home from work today. I guess I should give a little background. For years I've been reading and hearing about "vision boards". Basically cutting out words and pictures from magazines of where you want your life to go/what you want to accomplish/etc. and by having it visually there and focusing on it, it will come to be. I've been meaning to make one for a long while. Got the magazines. Got a piece of paper. Finally started cutting things out and putting them in a box (this is over the course of years that these steps have happened). Still haven't put it together.
So, today on the way home from work it hit me. I can remember times in girl scouts and an assignment in elementary school where we had to plan our lives. We looked through the classified ads for cars, houses, and jobs and put it all together as "what I will be when I grow up." I remember being the only one that got a car I'd be able to pay outright for (apparently even then I was frugal, some things just don't change). In both assignments I found some sort of job as a secretary. I can't remember what the housing situation was like. I want to say it was a small cottage but that could be my current thoughts kicking in.
Suddenly I had an "ah ha" moment of, I created all of this when I was somewhere around 8-10 years old!! Even after 9 years of college, it didn't seem to change my path. I'm pretty happy where I am but I am always open to growth and following one's passion. So... definitely time to get on that vision board!!!! I know what I'm doing this weekend :)
