Page 49 - My Life Vision

The textbook says that this is a type of "bucket list" for our mind- describing all of the things we want to learn and why. It's easy to think about all of the physical activities you want to do before you die, such as skydiving and swimming with dolphins, but I've never really considered the things I want to learn before I die. There are the simple and materialistic things such as learning to drive stick so I could actually drive my dream car, learning to play the acoustic guitar, and learning to snowboard because I think it's awesome even if I hate the snow and being cold. In a perfect world I would love to actually learn those things, but chances are I probably won't. But that's fine with me. I'd rather focus on learning things that will ultimately help me to become a better person. Driving a beautiful Mini Cooper and being able to play guitar along to songs I love even though I couldn't carry a tune with a bucket would be awesome, but in the end things like that just truly aren't what will help me feel good about my life when I look back on it when I'm old. Considering my family and future career will be (and already are) the most important things in my life, I would like to dedicate my learning to them. I want to learn to be the best psychologist I can possibly be to help as many people as remotely possible. I want to learn to be the best daughter, sister, and aunt I can be. It's those things that I truly want to learn in my life.
