New horizons

"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things might get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things might get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better."

In spirit of the new semester, the changes and the challenges, I've decided to write down my goals, both short and long term. This way, when I feel overwhelmed, I can look at this list and put into perspective the trials that I may be faced with. It's going to be a tough year, but I want to succeed, I am driven to shine.


What do I want in life?
What are my values, my goals, my endeavors?

Today and in the future:
Financially secure
Successful
Confident
Healthy
Happy
Classy
Compassionate
Thankful

1 year:
Be more organized
Dean’s list
Responsible in all my roles (student, friend, leader)
Secure a summer internship in the business or law field
Think innovatively and creatively
Thank each and every individual personally who helps me along my way

3-5 years:
Secure a challenging career
or be enrolled in a top ten business or law school

10 years:
Secure a career in a challenging, satisfying field of work, while working my way up the corporate ladder.
Gain respect and knowledge as I advance in my field, never settling for second best yet approaching each task, regardless of its importance or difficulty, with dedication and passion.
Live comfortably and perhaps even luxuriously yet giving back to others less fortunate and giving thanks to those to have helped me along my way.
Spend time with those I care about, enjoying life to the fullest, and living in the moment
Family-oriented and in happy, loving, long-term relationship



I've got my eyes set far beyond the horizon. The world is open to endless possibilites. It's a beautiful life.
