Rebuilding Rob

Sometimes I have a hard enough time predicting what my life will be like in three months, let alone three years. But thinking ahead is really the first step in planning for the future. Since I’ve feel like I’ve been going through the motions lately, why not?

Three years from now, I’ll be 52. Kid 1 will be 19. Instead of paying child support for him, I’ll be trying to figure out how to help him pay for college. Kid 2 will be 11 and in the sixth grade. Yikes!

I’m hoping by then I’ll finally be back in grad school; hopefully well on my way to a master’s degree. I know it’s something I need to do. It will guarantee me a larger salary. I just have to pull the proverbial trigger and make it happen. I think I will look into it after the first of the new year. Maybe I’ll be able to even get in next fall. I feel like it’s time.

“It’s tough making predictions, especially about the future“

Yogi Berra

My gut is telling me that, whatever my relationship status is three years from now, I will be happy. I will either be in a relationship, and it will be a good one; or I will be single and quite content with it. I am at a point right now in my life where I would like a relationship, but I don’t know how much I want to be in a relationship.

But I feel like three years from now, and I won’t be pining after anybody who, for whatever reason, is unattainable. I won’t be looking back at my previous relationships and thinking “could’ve, should’ve, would’ve“ I believe that three years from now, I will have come to terms with all of my past relationships – or at least the ones that are still haunting me today.

I’ve never been much of a heavy planner type. I usually tend to take life as it comes. But one thing I have learned about myself over the years is to trust my gut. More often than that, my gut feeling is correct. These predictions I’ve made for the next three years are coming strictly from my gut.

The truth is that we live in a world of infinite possibilities. Who knows what the future really holds? Looking back three years to 2020, could you have really imagined your life would be what it is at this moment?

What will your life be like in three years? Where do you see yourself?
