Do you ever wonder what you are going to be like in five years? Normally, I don't. But it sort of just dawned on me tonight. It's a scary thought. I think mainly because I look back five years ago and I'm definitely not the same person I was then. I was young, stupid and naive, having my fair share of college fun. And now, I'm a little more serious, more driven, smarter about the world and people.

I sort of miss the feeling of not having a care in the world though. Being a little less serious. Not worrying about how much money I have to save just in case our whole company goes under.


I remember years ago, when my dad would take me on his rounds in the hospital- and I wanted to be a doctor, just like him. Back then you could be anyone you wanted to be. Now adays there are always road blocks in the way- Can't do that because it won't make money, or the whole self doubt thing.

Times are tough for everyone right now and fact is, it's hard to be hopeful at times. But try to never lose sight of your goals and what makes you happy. Years from now, you dont want to think about what you could have done. Just go out and do it.

So what is five years going to do to you?
