Today I Turn 53 and I had Little Life Review
I’m 53 today and I am so happy to be here. I have miraculously made it this far, when so many others haven’t. I have fought disease, environment, finances and luck to be here.
When I turned 41, it was the first birthday after my husband had passed away. I wrote down a list of goals that I wanted to achieve for what I perceived to be the last half of my life. Eight years into that list I threw it away, having had knock after knock and thinking I was just a fool for believing in any of that stuff and who the hell was I anyway to want something so grand.
Even though I threw it away, I still have it in my head. Every now and then I look at the list in my head and realise, that actually I’m getting there.
Here is the list I am still trying to complete before I die and where I’m up to right now.
Have $5 million in the bank Currently $732.00
Write 5 books Currently 2 published and started the third (actually have 5 more in various states of written)
Have 3 Websites Check
Debt Free Check
It’s not really a huge list. Kind of pathetic really. But its I want in life, aside from happy healthy children. I know $5million is a stretch, but I think for me, if I have a big goal, just trying to accomplish it will get me at least (I hope) a little closer to having some sort of financial security.
Life reflections are a good thing. Especially when your over the half way mark, whichever you think of it, I am definitely over half way.
On the downhill run of my life I find myself way more fearless, more determined and more motivated to reach these goals before time runs out. Because it is. For everyone. If you want to do something, anything – now is the time.
