I know it’s been awhile since I’ve updated you all on the
adventure that is my life. I apologize for leaving you hanging in the suspense.
Unfortunately, things have gotten a bit routine. I say unfortunately because I
am a big fan of change and challenges. If I could live in that room with the
changing stair cases that Harry Potter gets to walk up daily, I’d be ecstatic. So
to catch you all up to speed, studying for the CFP exam is overtaking my life.
I eat, sleep, and breathe that exam and I’m not exaggerating. And because no
one really wants to hear about that, I have been at a loss for words that will
keep you on the edge of your seat.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to learn to balance
things in life. I tend to be an extremist. Like if someone were to ask me to
make them a pie, I’d #1 be surprised because this person would have to be a
stranger to request that I bake for them and #2 practice making pies for like
37 hours straight until I finally figured out how to do it. I don’t know whether
this is a good thing or not, but I do know that one day I will have a lot of
skills. Trying to figure out how to balance things has been a struggle because
I just want to do everything, try everything and learn everything. Now I haven’t
totally written off the idea that that is an attainable goal, but I have almost
accepted that I need pick and choose certain things. So I’ve set some goals for
myself so that I don’t get too stuck in a rut and miss out on all the fun
things in life. Over the next 12 months I will (in priority order):
1)
Pass the CFP exam
2)
Get my concealed handgun license
3)
Create an app
4)
Get my commercial driver’s license (just to be
prepared)
5)
Write an e-book
6)
Pass the series 7 exam
7)
Pass the AFC exam
Don’t ask me how I plan to balance these things yet, because
that it the part I haven’t figured out yet. I mean those are only 7 goals, and
I’ve given myself 12 months, so how much balance could they possibly take?
Maybe this makes me look like an underachiever, but trust me, more things will
come up. I’ll keep you updated on new adventures and goals I accomplish as they
come!
