Goals are dynamic and change because you are human, and you change. When you’re in a state of growth, goals are updated every 3-6 months. I last did my goals in October 2019, and it was time to flesh them out again. Check out my previous goals here. Note how the vision shifts along with the goals.
Vision for 2029
I am hiking the Blue Lake trail in the North Cascades in Washington with Chris, our 9-year-old, and Coco, who is energetic and strong. Carson is with us, and he and a friend have raced ahead to jump into the lake. The sky is a clear blue, the temperature is perfect — crisp, with a hint of warmth. I feel strong and happy. Chris and I look at each other over our daughter’s head and smile as we feel the rocks under our feet and breathe in the fresh, mountain air. We are carrying delicious sandwiches, snacks and chocolate for a treat at the top. My parents are down with my niece in California, visiting and catching up with my sister. My phone is off; I know my team is taking care of whatever has come up for the business while we are out in Mazama at our vacation home, and I’ll catch up with them the next day. Chris is running a small start-up as its CEO, and is loving the challenge of growing a small company. My company is making multiple seven-figures a year, as I lead people through energy work around the world via online courses and in person as an in-demand speaker.
I feel content, connected and full of gratitude for the family and life we have created. I am excited for some new work projects, and also love having time to reconnect with nature, one of my values and priorities. I am contemplating what my next book will be, whether it is my coaching in a motivational book or if it’s time for a memoir on the intersection of my growth as a leader, my love of movement, and my roots growing up Chinese-American in the Midwest.
I feel healthy and energized. I share the work I do on a global scale. I continue to tithe income every year to charities I am passionate about. I cherish the life I have created, and my family comes first.
