Vision without action is just a dream, and the first vision I have is just that for now, a dream. One day I definitely want to make it a goal. I have already started the necessary steps to make this vision a reality. I would love to live in Europe for a minimum of a year; the maximum would be the rest of my life. The two countries I would consider settling in would either be England or Spain. England is a major financial center. If I were to move there it would be possible to get a job in the Finance industry similar to one that I would get here in New York. Instead of the hustle and bustle of New York, I would be home to the booming, but relaxed lifestyle of England. As for Spain, it is just a wonderful country on all levels. The food, the people, the music, the culture in its entirety its absolutely wonderful, and I feel is something that I could easily get lost in. I have been researching a lot of potential programs where I could possibly teach abroad, and also internships in these countries. It’s a long road ahead but I will get this achieved.
One personal goal of mine is to learn how to play the guitar. Ever since I was a child, I have always loved the guitar. No matter the genre, I could always appreciate a skilled guitarist. I have always wanted to sit down and learn to play all my favorite songs. Along with my first goal, when I move out of this hectic city, I will have more time to relax, and allocate time to learn this desired skill. Until then unfortunately I’m just trying to keep up with all I have on my plate now.
My last desired goal, is something that I gave up on because of laziness. I want to go back to the gym, and start eating an extremely healthy diet again. For about two years I was dedicated to this, but then one summer came and I just forgot about it. I didn’t mean to, it just happened. It’s been about a year since I’ve been in a gym, from what I hear they have things called dumbbells?? (LOL) I haven’t started taken the necessary steps yet to begin this process again, but I believe as soon as the semester ends I will go back. Once I’ve built a routine, there is nothing that could stop me.
Maybe Gym is a good start for you. It may add a lot of energy and motivation to be creative in your life. I am sure you achieve all of them..
ReplyDeleteI've tried learning the guitar. It's easy to pick up but like all things, requires practice to be fluent. Eventually I lost the momentum of learning when the semester began.
ReplyDeleteYou should really take advantage of the gym facilities at Baruch since you pay for it! Perhaps in senior year or when you take fewer classes you can get back on track to your goal!
Good luck, and start now!
Spain and England, great places to live, possibly for the rest of ones life. With so much competition here, it is extremely difficult to have a sucessful career and lead a life. I too, also always wanted to learn an instrument, nice hobby of a dream to have. Gym, if you need a spotter, call me. the hardest part about going to the gym for me is not having someone who will always push you to keep going, and by ourselves we get lazy, and rather go eat a nice meal at appelbes, with a beer, and watch monday night football.
