goals
Posted by pumpkinface on June 22, 2010
so i am reading this book on “transitions”. in it, it describes how most people go through a transition around their early 30′s and make a change or adjustment from early adulthood to you-are-in-the-thick-of-it adulthood. this notion really stood out for me and so i was curious how i am making this transition of my own compared to what i thought it would be like. to do that i’ve dug out 3 sets of written goals that i did for myself and i have been looking at them to see what i have accomplished, what i could care less if i accomplished it, what i haven’t gotten done, and what has changed for me. one of the set of goals is 7 years old, the other is at least 2 years and the third is maybe less than a year old.
it is striking some of the similarities between them, and it is good to see some differences. now all i need to do is to be honest with myself (gulp) and make a new set of goals that have some roots in the old ones, but help me take a step forward into my settled (can’t think of a better term here) adult life.
