What’s your vision for your future? Do you even know? Do you know your vision? Because, if you don’t know what you want the movie of your life to look like, how will you get there?
When I am thinking about my happy place, here’s what I see in the little cloud above my head:
- I am in California, where one of my sons lives, with a little house and a little pool out back. My children and grandchildren are there visiting me for the holidays. I am working there in the winter as a comedy writer.
- It’s summer looking out over a lake with all the kids, grandchildren and friends sitting on the deck out back as the sun sets. Not fancy. Some of us are playing guitars and everybody is singing. Firepit, somemores, sweaters, shorts, flipflops.
That’s perfection for me. That is everything. It includes work, play, family, and fun. That is a life that I would love to have. And, when I realized that I see myself happy in these vignettes, I thought, “What are you doing to make the dreams come to reality?”
I give Coronavirus the credit for putting me in the mindset to think about what I want and what I am doing to get there. I’ve had boatloads of time to think about everything. So here I am with all of that newfound enlightenment: what’s next?
