My Personal Vision in 10 – 15 years

2021/Jul/8 in Mississauga

Physical health

15 years later, I will be 40 years old; if it is 10 years later, I will be 36 years old.

I hope by that time I will be as how strong I am as now, or maybe even gets stronger thanks to the exercise from housework, baby-sitting, and/or workload, etc.

Skin is an important part of my physical health as well since I had long-lasting skin irritations, such as allergy and eczema, and I have been having all sorts of skin diseases since I was a kid. So having a stable and good skin condition would be really something I would like to see in my 40s. Now I think the skin IS getting better gradually already, I have no acne on my face, no acne at the back (just some dark marks that take a longer time to disappear), and my skin has never looked so glorying and smooth ——I guess this should be credited to the reduced stress level thanks to staying at home.

I hope my eyes are still sharp, which they will probably do since 40 is not a big age for the eyes to start de-functioning. I hope I did not put on too much weight that would influent both my confidence and a heart condition. Actually, I want my condition to be like Gina Sun, the EILTSteacher I had in 2015 who is 10 years older than me while is so energetic, young, and attractive.

I do not like any bone issues or legs deficiency. My mother had knee pain and so does my grandfather, which makes me a little concerned that maybe I will get the bone gene from them and have a similar issue at an older age. So I will be more careful in the future when I do exercise or with anything I do, to protect my bones as much as possible, such as making proper warm-up before running, use my muscles more carefully in a cooperative way instead of forcing them and wear out them.

A friend of mine shared her experience of having a big belly for a long time after giving birth, regardless of all the exercises she has tried. I would plan for good birth care for myself and the baby so that we will be both taken good care of and get little sequelae on our health as possible.

Spiritual health

I do not have a spiritual belief, and within a short vision, I would probably not any either, as I can see from now. Also, I do wish this fact does not change 10 or 15 years later, because the only situation where I can see myself obtaining a spiritual belief, is only that I must be so heart broke or desperate so that I have to find some relief from the spiritual belief. I hope this does not happen.

Meanwhile, it is alright to know more about different spirits. After all, this country and world is so diverse and have so many different beliefs. Knowing some of the major religion’s concepts would be helpful for communicating with people of these backgrounds and understanding them.

Besides the religious part, for my spiritual health, I would like to make an extension and write something about my values. Although not religious, I still have beliefs and values. I hope in 10 to 15year from now, my values will be more clear, more certain, and more correct. Right now I see myself still developing the system and sometimes in lack of a tested guiding principle to deal with things, people, and situations. When I am 40, I should have formed a much comprehensive view of the world, society, and life, and thus become better at interacting with people around me and things that happen every day.

Romantic and family health

I liked some boys when at school, but none of them was developed into a real relationship, not even a closer friendship, or a plus familiar acquaintanceship. This is a pity because looking back, I really wished I did not have so much fear and so little confidence to talk to them and get to know them, or even just say hi first.

In my 40s, I want to have a happy marriage and ideally, some kids. I will also be living with my parents since they only have me as the only child. My husband and I love each other, even though life and time take away some passion, but our hearts are together and closer by day. Taking care of kids is seen as a shared mission. We take on the responsibility whenever we see ourselves better than the other person on the matter, so as to bring the best outcome to the family. For example, maybe I will teach the kids fundamental math, and he will help them with craftwork, give guidance on life and personality, and form them greater people.

My parents will be proud of me in my 40s and enjoy the life of having their kid become an adult. We sometimes travel or shop together, visit parks, read and chat. I still discuss certain things with my parents and they are always so helpful.

Contributions to the community

I have always cared about social justice, so maybe I will finally join some charity that helps those who do not understand the legal system or cannot afford professional consultation.

Or maybe I will have some impact on education rights, employment rights, or helping to reduce hunger. Although haven’t had a clear idea of how this will realize, those topics come to the top of my mind while I write about this section.

I plan on donating to my school. It has become a pity that I did not do so in the first year of my graduation when I received a warm letter from Knox college, a dorm where I had many good memories.

Your work

Right now I am in the progress of finding my next work. Unfortunately, I did not make a smooth transition from previous work –laid off due to covid and felt burned out. I took four months staying at home in China doing nothing yet still having difficulty obtaining the feeling of recovery or recharged. Then I returned to Canada, found a rental space where there are two other tenants who are also like me: living alone, earning life in this foreign land. My interaction with them was very beneficial, where I learned a lot about making proper gestures in different relationships. Looking back I think I was like a blind person living everyday life based on my imagination because I knew so little of how society runs, paid so little attention to other people's thoughts, and noticed so little of my own behaviors and actions. I guess now it is time for me to reserve and develop on this area, and I hope in my 40s I will be mindful and considerate, which will bring in not only a harmoniouswork relationship with colleagues and boss, but also a health interpersonal status.

I wish in my 40s I have achieved something I amproud of at work, which also helps establishing a stronger position andprofessional ability of myself. I become a strong force in the industry, andget in the track of becoming some expert in a long run.

Summary paragraph the provides an overview ofyour dreamed-about future

In summary, 10-15 years later, I have good condition of physical health, good spiritual health, happy family, good connection with the community and can make little or good contributions to promote the better outcomes, step on the right track of professional development and have clear vision of where going next.
