Importance Of My Long Term Goals

At this very moment, I’m probably at the lowest point in my life. My long term goal is something I never imagined I would have to say. Within the last month I have lost my job, my car, my home and separated from my fiancé. I refuse to stay as a statistic now that I am a single mom. I reject the thought of giving up, for my baby is my motivation. With all this, my long term goal is to better myself, accomplish school, and overcome this set back. In order to pick myself up after being dragged on the floor, I must start by focusing on rising higher than I have ever been. I begin my new journey by grabbing life by the wheel and signing up for school to become a medical assistant. There is no better fulfilling sensation that I get after helping …show more content…
This transformation is a challenging process to rebuild myself. I realize being with someone that “loved” me no matter what, caused me to let go of myself. I look in the mirror and I look completely different and I don’t feel good about myself. So in order to do so, I have created a long term goal to lose weight and feel good spiritually as well. My sister introduced me to her church, which welcomed me with open arms (literally). I plan on going every Sunday and going to their events to rebuild my relationship with God. They said a scripture to me that has motivated me which is “God doesn’t make you go thru things that He knows you couldn’t handle” and the one that speaks about God loving you even when you’re weak. He has also blessed me to meet a friend at church who has also agreed to be my gym buddy pushing me to work on my self-esteem. This particular individual has also been a blessing because she just went thru the same thing not too long ago with her husband and three children. I’m a big believer in signs, and she was put in my life’s path to help me with her experience and guidance thru the word. So in order to feel good, I have to improve inside and out. I will continue to use the tools I have learned by recording what I eat, observing my intake every day and exercising as much as I can. I’ve researched exercise moves I can do at home with my baby as well. Having a child will not be my excuse as other people …show more content…
I realize I cannot go to school and work which caused me to leave my dream job at the salon now that I have no one to watch the baby. That will not stop me from providing for my family. My other short term goal is to keep us financially stable and by doing that I must build my cliental again and do hair at home. Hair is another one of my passions I will not let die. I will accomplish this by posting my work on social media and pass my business cards to women. I have a hustling mentality which will keep my family fed and have clothes on their backs no matter what. I’m grateful at least my daughter is young to not ask me for things. Once I get my career as medical assistant, I can buy her anything she points to, I believe in myself. Having a career as a medical assistant will allow me to be my own person again. I’m indebted to my mother for opening a spare room for me and my child. But I refuse to get comfortable there. As a newly found independent woman, I have also made another long term goal to one day having my own place for me and my baby. With this goal comes discipline meaning I have to save my earnings. I dream of how I will decorate my future home, cooking in my own kitchen, my baby playing in our living room and when I open my eyes, I smile. I have that hunger to have my own place and not rely on
