Imagine yourself in twenty years

"I learnt that the biggest defect we have is in our shortsightedness because we often do not see what we could become. I learnt that we should be looking at our potential and stretching ourselves to become someone great." — Taken from my book review in 2010

Question: 

Imagine yourself in twenty years. You are surrounded by the most important people in your life. Who are they and what are you doing? 

I am currently 19 years old and I am turning 20 in another 3 months. In twenty years, I will be 39 years old. Thus when I chanced upon this question, I pondered deeply and decided that I am going to share my thoughts here. 

 I pray that my parents continue to be healthy and strong so that they are able to see their grandchildren and hold them in their arms. Both of them will be happily in their retirement age and I will be more than able to provide for their daily expenses. Secondly, I hope that my two other siblings are doing well in their respective careers and their households are blessed by the Lord. We will have family gathering at least once a month to catch up with each other and share interesting stuff with each other. My greatest desire to be able to see my loved ones being saved and experiencing wonderful breakthroughs in their individual lives. 

If ever I am still pursuing operations related career, I believe I will be successful in my job and still learning to grow and self-improve myself because there is no limit to learning. If I am still singing, I pray that my voice will be used to bless my audience positively. I will continue to serve in Choir Ministry as often as I can.

I pray that my children are doing well in their primary schools, pursuing their passions and able to get to know the Lord personally. I think I have the ability to be a relatable and understanding mom to my kids who strive to consistently listens to their sharing, secrets and rants. 

I pray that I will be a great helper and amazing wife to my husband. We will continue to date each other and keep stirring our passion for one another. Both of us will try to travel out of the country at least once a year and see the world together.

Above all, I just want to be happy, or even happier in twenty years. Life is too short to be sad right?  What about you?
