How Do I

See Myself 10 Years from Now

The way I see myself ten years ahead of now is not something I often think about. To tell you the truth,
it scares me a little to know that in one short decade I will be twenty eight years old, and that my years
of youth are coming to an end. One thing I’m certain of, is that if God gives me the opportunity to get to
that age, I will make the most of my years and put all of my effort to become a successful, happy man.

A vision I’ve always had of myself years ahead of now is a wealthy business woman that owns an art
academy, and is a world-wide well known artist. I will have graduated from a bachelor in fine arts from
college, as well as a master in painting and business administration.I’m sure that with perseverance and
the help of the people I love, as well as God’s, I will have the chanceto travel around the world and meet
many beautiful places.

By the time I turn 28, I will have visited dozens of countries around the world, and known places of
incredible beauty. Another one of my wishes is to be able to build a very beautiful house with a painting
studio, a big garden, a couple of dogs, a few nice cars, and maybe even a swimming pool and a hot tub.
Other dreams I have include a house in lake Atitlan, as well as an apartment in Miami, a room share in
Steamboat Colorado, and a beautiful house in Puerto San José, Guatemala. I’m not very certain I will be
living in my native country ten years ahead of now, but I am certain that I will visit it often to see my
family and friends as frequently as my job allows me to.

Ten years from now, I see myself as a strong, independent, healthy, and most important of all, happy
man, and I am aware that the only person that can get me there is myself by putting all the passion,
effort and determination I have in everything I do. In the movie Shrek II, I once heard a very life-changing
quote that the character Arthur said after defeating his enemy. “The only person that can keep you from
becoming who you want to be is yourself.”
