My Most Meaningful Achievements Essay

and how they relate to my future goals
Just as each and every human being I have certain expectations and vision of my future life. What I did throughout my whole life was aimed either at achieving my goals or at entertaining myself (which is also an important component of feeling happy). Of course, some goals changed, some vanished and new appeared, but I was result-oriented and adgusted my activities according to the set goals.
First of all, I want to be in a good physical state. “A sound mind in a sound body”, says the proverb. Without being healthy achieving any aims would be truly difficult. In this context, I make myself go in for sports or workout on a daily basis. But, to be honest, it is hard to be consistent, although I definitely feel the positive impact of workouts both on my body and mind.
As a personality, I would like to be self-assured, ambisious, sociable and generally have a positive state of mind. It is probably one of the hardest goals I have set for myself due to the subjectivity of its evaluation.
Of course, the list would not be full without listing the anticipated job achievements. I envisage having a stable job with the opportunity to go on a business trip a couple of times a year. Obviously, I would like to have a fair wage and ideally I wish my job to have positive social or ecological impact on our country. To get this kind of a job I no doubt have to asquire an education and receive a degree. This is basically my primal current goal for the next year or two. For this I worked hard and managed to finish school with outstanding results, I went through a number of educational courses and now I am so proud to study abroad and apply for a scholarship to open new horizons for myself, obtain useful skills and learn something new.
Most of all I value family and healthy close relationships. No doubt I am realistic about building a family and first of all it requires being a fully developed, rational and conscious personality, having family requires a huge amount of love, patience, responsibility and, it may sound as a materialistic approach, money. For me having a family is possible only after I achieve all the goals I mentioned above so I am highly motivated to fight all the obstacles in order to do my best in becoming a man of my dream.
Dreaming is great but how will your wishes come true without you doing anything for it? As a child, I was told that making dreams come true is hard. Well, it actually is, however before going to bed ask yourself what did you do today to achieve your goals? And if during a week or so the answer is “no” that is a clear alarm bell that you live in dissonance with your wishes. If you do at least anything in order to be who you want, in little steps you will eventually reach success. This was an important revelation for me: having little useful habits like reading a book everyday, learning and training foreign language anytime I have a spare minute or doing simple physical exersises when I would prefer to lay down and be lazy – that is what makes a huge contribution to my dream of a healthy many-sided man with great potential in life.
On my thorny way to success, I have learned that failing at something is normal and sometimes failures teach us more that victories do and force us to look deep inside yourself to find strength and motivation not to give up.
For some people my achievements may sound insignificant. I am still discovering my possibilities and learn how to be my better self. It is kind of a work that has no limits and no weekends. But I am determined to do my best to live the life I dream about.
