27

Today I turned 27.

Everyone has expectations for themselves right? I mean, in some way don't we all hope that we will be able to make something of ourselves, that we will be able to look back on our lives at any given point in time and be proud of how far we have come and what we've done?

Every once in a while, something happens that triggers that thought process in my mind. In the past, I have made excuses for myself about how I'm still, young, I've still got potential, It doesn't matter that I haven't achieved what I thought I would by this time because I can still make it if I just push that little bit harder the next year. In the past, I think I actually did believe it.

This year, turning 27, I'm not sure I believe it any more.

So much time has passed and so little has been achieved. I have had enough setbacks in the last 12 months that I am running out of excuses. Something must be done or the dream really will be over.

But what should I do? What is the best/right/smartest/highest probability option?
What is best for my career? What is best for myself? What is the best for my family, and for my relationships?

I need to prioritise. I need to be clear headed. I need to be logical. I need to make a decision.
