As we’ve seen over the last twelve years, life can change tremendously—though I can’t help but wonder if it’s really for the better. The last four years have been nothing short of chaotic, and projecting what the next three will look like seems utterly pointless. What I do know is that during these four years, my taxes have soared while my salary barely keeps pace with the skyrocketing cost of living. If I’m lucky enough to see a bonus, it feels more like a rare exception than a rule. Each time I ask for a pay increase, the response is always the same: the business can’t afford it. That’s the reality I live in, at least financially speaking.
In three years, I will be trimmer and healthier. I’ve made significant cuts to my sugar and carb intake, adhering to the advice my doctor gave me: if it’s white, it’s not right. That means eliminating all the white foods like bread, crackers, cookies, potatoes, and white rice. I’ve experienced rapid weight loss before when I eliminated these items, and I’m determined to keep that progress. I rarely drink soda and am committed to transitioning to a more plant-based diet. I know that in three years, my life can evolve in exciting ways, and I’m ready for it. But to say how it will be that is another story.
Mentally, I hope to challenge myself to stay more alert and learn more, embracing new experiences that push my boundaries and stimulate my mind. By actively seeking out opportunities for growth, whether through reading, engaging in thought-provoking discussions, or tackling complex problems, I aim to enhance my mental abilities and expand my knowledge base. This journey of self-improvement not only enriches my understanding of the world around me but also fosters a sense of curiosity that drives me to explore new perspectives and ideas. But where I will be is another story.
Spiritually, that is where I see that I will see most growth, as I embark on a journey of self-discovery and deeper understanding of my beliefs in God. This path is full of opportunities for reflection, learning, and connection with the Blessed Trinity. As far as where I will be, I still couldn’t tell you; the future remains a mystery filled with possibilities. God will lead me, guiding my steps as I navigate through life’s uncertainties and embrace the changes that come my way. I trust that each experience will shape me and bring me closer to my true purpose.
In short, to know what the future foretells is totally impossible, as the unpredictability of life often throws unexpected challenges our way. Still, I know I will give my all and do my best to try to prepare for anything that comes. This preparation involves not only planning for potential financial strains but also nurturing my resilience to face unforeseen circumstances. I pray that taxes don’t go up any further, or at least, I find more money to pay bills. In this delicate balance of hope and apprehension, I stay committed to striving for stability and making the best of whatever lies ahead, knowing that each step I take is a way to carve out a more certain future. I am grateful that our Lord is looking after me, and I am assured that I will thrive. After all, nothing lasts forever, and every day brings a chance for renewal and growth.
