Every so often, I think it's important to set goals in life. Goals and plans can change (and in my case, they change often!) But it's still important to have something you are going towards, otherwise you are just going through the motions of life. My life took a completely unexpected turn in March when I was offered this job in Singapore. I never, ever would have guessed I would end up in some country I knew nothing about. The first couple months, I had to adapt to a new lifestyle, new culture, and new job. Now that I have adjusted well and everything is going smoothly, it's time to set some goals to work towards while I am here in Singapore!
1) Save 10-20% of my monthly paycheck until I get to the point I can live for 3-6 months without working! :)
2) Pay off those damn little pieces of plastic that I got into trouble with in chiro school...oops :-/
3) Be the best chiropractor I can be for my patients!
4) Plan a trip to Europe at the end of my stay here in Singapore: Germany-to see my roommate and friend from here, and Italy-because I've always wanted to go :)
5) Learn a new skill while I am here
6) Learn everything I can about running and growing a business while I'm here (and possibly take this model to a big city in the US??)
7) Enjoy life to the fullest!!! :)
Good goals Julie. Especially the financial ones and the trip to Europe. Maybe your mom and I can join you!
