Accomplishing My Goals

I’ve been working on being still. Something I am not the greatest at.

Partially from the consistent life changes. I also think for people my age, more and more of us are moving and changing things up pretty often. I know I enjoy the idea of living a nomadic lifestyle, especially as I get older.

A part of me also enjoys the idea of stability. A part of me needs stability.

I am currently planning on buying a house in the near future (which is more stability than I thought I would be doing, especially in a place I have wanted to leave). I am currently working on my credit score and saving money. One thing about buying a house and getting approved for a house loan is stability. They like the idea of stability such as staying at the same job. I just passed the two-year mark at my job, but I have also applied and interviewed for many jobs in those two years.

Now that I have decided to try to buy a house (something I didn’t even think was a possibility to do so), I have to stop looking for things that will force parts of my life to change. The parts of my life that shouldn’t change, at least while I am planning on buying a house.

The town that I live in doesn’t have many places of work that have decent pay and let alone benefits. The place I currently work at is one of the few. Since I have always planned on not staying where I am that meant I would move somewhere that has more options. Deciding to try to buy a house means I will be staying in the same place for a bit.

I still don’t plan to work at the same place for years and years to come for many reasons. One of the other places with decent pay and benefits would be the hospital. Which, I have gone back to the idea of going into the medical field for a while now. I was talking about how I plan to possibly further my education, maybe get a two-year degree or something of the sort. That’s the goodness of the medical field you can gradually move up in positions. Something my job doesn’t have. For some people that is okay, but I don’t do well with the idea of not moving up in one way or another.

While I was talking about this plan, it was one of the first times where I felt okay that I wasn’t changing everything to work towards this plan. I am always afraid if I am not working towards the goals I want I am failing in life. Yes, in order to get to a goal, you have to work. I am learning that it is okay to have that goal but that it doesn’t need to happen instantly.

Some goals can’t happen simultaneously. That’s okay because that doesn’t mean you won’t accomplish those goals.
