Personal Vision
When I think about the lifestyle I would love to lead, I thing of and independent and capable one. I know the American Dream isn't very realistic without a very high paying job or family wealth because everything is so expensive, especially in the Bay Area. However, I want to own my own home and have a garden, where I can have chickens, dogs and cats. I would like a lifestyle and an environment that is low stress. I want a home that is comfortable for me in my life and that I have earned on my own, supported by a career I love. I want to feel like I've accomplished something in myself without anyone's help. I want to prove to myself and others that I am strong, capable, and self sufficient enough to take care of myself without fail.
The kind of job I would like to hold is a job that I truly enjoy. I don't want a job I dread. I want work that inspires me. What I know about me, is that I work best in a free flowing environment where I can be in charge of my own schedule and work objectives and goals. I do care about making enough money, but money isn’t the most important thing. Mostly, it is important for me to feel that my unique skills and talents are used to make the world a better place. I know this is more satisfying than being rich. In fact I believe this is what true wealth is, being fulfilled by living your true purpose. The personal qualities that I admire in others and the ones I would like to develop in myself are good communication and listening skills. The reason I admire these skills is because they make people feel safe and open up to share what is really going on inside them. People who have good communication skills seem confident and comfortable with themselves and with others. I admire people who have a lot of heart and creativity and who can express themselves through art and humor. A few of my life goals are of traveling around the world. Not just to experience the most expensive finest things, but also to see far away places of secluded nature, and to experience the animals and landscapes that I have never seen before. I want to experience all that life has to offer. I also have a goal of wanting to explore the ocean. I would love to see the whales, octopuses, and all the other cool and mysterious creatures that live beneath the sea. One of my dreams is to go to Egypt and India with a backpack sometime in the next couple of years. I think it would be best to go while I'm still young and don't have a house, pets or kids that are my sole responsibility. Plus, a trip like that takes endurance and I have that now. Also, a trip like this can change the direction of your life, so it would be best to do it while I’m young. Some skills I would love to learn include carpentry, the reason I want to have this skill is because it's very useful to be able to be able to build and fix things for yourself. Another skill I would like to learn is how to do manicures and acrylic nails. The reason I want to become good at this skill is so I can do my own nails for free. I could also potentially start a business when I get good at it. |
