I don't know why I chose to go with this topic because it has been giving me so much difficulty to think of what I would want to achieve at that age but I still refused to change what to go for because I love challenging topics like this.
Thanks to the weekend engagement topics, I got to think like an old lady π and here are my conclusions from all the thinking which I believe are what I want as at now even though I'm like 2 decades from that age.
Yeah... I decided to go for option Five: By the time I'm 60 I want to...

Cutting it down to just three major things I would want to achieve at that age was really difficult because I have so many things I want to achieve before I die (Unfortunately or fortunately, I don't know when I'll die as it had been designed by the Creator) but there's hope when there's life and it's okay to dream.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe.
Anatole France
As a young lady now, one would say "Why not plan for your youth age before your old age?" but while thinking about the question asked I thought... My old age would be product of my young age and concluding on a plan on how I want my old age to be would help shape the way I live my life as a youth... My thoughts though.
I want to achieve a lot in my youth age that at my old age, I would focus more on achieving even greater things... You'd be shocked to know that some people could achieve way more than others at their old age than when they were young. I read an article some days ago and it reflected on how much old people could achieve even if they had started late unlike some youths.
A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow
George S. Patton
I want to take this opportunity given through this weekend contest to plan my tomorrow today regardless if it's too early or if they are real or far-fetched, it's still way better to plan ahead. And here are the three major things I want to achieve by the time I'm 60.
Be A Mentor To So Many
While I was a kid, there was an elderly man at where we lived, he was so full of wisdom whenever he speaks... Or so I thought and he became someone I always wanted to listen to whenever he sits outside his apartment. I thought then that he lived a good youthful life to have been able to speak with such wisdom.
I feel every human is on this earth for another human if not for many humans. Being able to inspire someone to become great is an achievement that isn't easy to get but when one does... It's one of the greatest achievements.
I want to be one of those humans who are there for other humans. I want to inspire people and become a mentor to many even to those I don't know or never meet. I've heard of stories where people testify of how someone on TV inspired them to do something better in their lives... Others got inspired through books written by people... Others through music.
I love music and I love to write and I'm finding better ways to grow this passions of mine to inspire people to find this part of them because like me before, some are hiding away from their passion.
By 60, I should have mentored a lot of people who would add more value to the lives of others than I have even done for them. I want to be a 60years wise lady, a passionate 60 years lady and most importantly a 60 years loving lady that will continue to inspire people around especially my family and neighbors.
Have A Big Family In My Dream Home
No, I'm not a fan of having a big house to show that I have achieved a lot. It's not bad to have a big house when I'm at that age but I would prefer to have a happy family in a home that's comfortable and rent free.
At 60, I want to have my grown up kids come visiting my beloved husband and I at our little dream home. We would have party and lots of fun anytime they come around as if we are age mates.
I am working towards being strong in health even at that age so I get to do a lot with my children and keep fit to look beautiful for my husband. People can also look their best at that age and I want to be one of them.
I imagine my family and I living life like it's our last days on earth, we would always laugh at jokes together and understand each other with less quarrel and fights among my children because I would teach them good values including the ones I wasn't opportune to learn.
Explore The World With My Family
At that age, I should have retired from my profession and set to just live happily with my family especially my husband since at that time, my children should be busy living their amazing youth lives too.
As a young lady now, I want to make so much money that would make me comfortable enough to help those around and of course invest in people who would change my lives including mine. I want to have so much money now that at age 60 I won't need to bother of how to make money for my world exploration.
I love to travel to new places, meet new people and explore different regions to continue my learning as that never comes to end in one's life. I may not visit the world in my youth but I will or should have been able to at 60 because I am working towards it now.
Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully, prepare prayerfully, proceed positively, pursue persistently
William A. Ward
All my plans from now at the moment seem impossible to achieve but I have plan with a purpose, I'm preparing with prayers and believe, I'm positive I'll achieve all my plans and I'm willing to pursue my goals persistently.
My life at 60 would be amazing from the view I'm looking at it here π and I'm willing to work towards living that life... Sometimes I don't feel happy thinking I'll get old but looking at these plans, I will be glad to grow old.
Thanks for reading!!!
