Cogratulations !

Interesting article. I’ve just returned to studying myself, I’m doing CIMA over the next two/three years. And as you say, your points apply to all aspects of our life, not just studying.

Very interesting article. I have read it but will be back to dissect it further. Congrats again on passing the CPA exam!

I agree. It is important to remember what we are doing and why we are doing it. I also agree that you should always readjust and recalibrate yourself and what you are all about.

However, sometimes you do not know where you are going until you get there. Even though at points, some things might seem pointless and that they are not compatible with what we are anymore, it is important to finish what you started just to remember why it was important.

It is another paradox in life, but yet we have to live with it. We have to accept uncertain in our lives and sometimes go ahead without having a clear direction. That is just my thought.

If we had perfect information about ourselves at all times, it would be much easier to make decisions. However, most of the time we are not aware of what we are doing until it is too late. Becoming aware is definitely something to strive for, yet it is also OK to accept your mistakes and admit that you don’t really know everything and it’s OK sometimes to not know where you are going.

Remember what matters I feel is the most important life-changing lesson listed here.

So many people start something, and after a while they forget why they’re doing it. “Because I’m already doing it, whadyamean?” They do it because they’re doing it.

While maybe the goal is still aligned with what’s important to them, it’s better to take checkpoints and assess their situation. See that what they’re doing is getting them closer to their prize – and if it’s not, then it’s time for tweaking and re-calibrating the path.

The real trouble happens when the goal takes many years to accomplish. People soon think they should just finish the goal because they’ve already started it, even if it’s not aligned with their life direction anymore. Why? You won’t get use out of it when you accomplish that goal.

Better to jump off and start climbing the right ladder than be halfway up the wrong one.
