I was responding to questions on eHarmony today, yes eHarmony, and again I was asked the question, "Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?" I never know how to quite answer this question. How can you give an answer about something you are not even sure of for tomorrow, next week, or 3 months from now? How can you plan so far ahead? You don't know what may happen before that time. You could be a completely different person before 5-10 years roll around. Heck, I have no idea where or who I want to be right now. So for the sake of answering the fateful eHarmony question, I say, "I hope to be finished with grad school and settled down with someone. " Ha, pretty typical answer huh? Does it even matter?
Then comes the theological/religious side of my thoughts. Why not live in the now? Why do we have to keep planning for the future; for what's to come? We are not in control of it ultimately. Part of me really dislikes this question of 5-10 years. My mentality is that I don't really know what the future holds. That's God's job. My job is to take life as it comes and with a grain of salt.
What does the future hold? We'll just have to see...
