Kuwait
A master's degree (started several years ago and picked it back up).
Chapters
Feeling that in order to kind of further my career, that I needed to do that in order to go to the next level.
My first question is, what's something you've.
Done recently that you're really proud of? I started on my master's, so I started it several years ago and picked it back up. So I'm proud of myself for getting back into it and trying to achieve and finish it.
Amazing. What do you think helps you do that?
Time, like, feeling that in order to kind of further my career, that I needed to do that in order to go to the next level.
So. Good. What's something that you're looking forward to that you haven't done yet?
Been a lot. I feel fortunate in that I get to travel quite a bit. So I would. I guess I would say continuing to travel and experience new places and new cultures. So the opportunity to do that is exciting.
And what do you think helps you, will help you reach that goal?
Well, I live abroad, I live in the Middle East, I live in Kuwait. So my location has allowed me to go to places that I wouldn't normally go to and go to countries that I wouldn't have otherwise traveled to if I had only been in the States. So I think that has opened up opportunities and it allows me to kind of fill that need to travel and find more places that I haven't been to that are kind of off the map for most people.
So if you had one piece of advice for helping people do the things.
Anything for travel, what would it be? I would say I'm not a firm believer in manifestation, but my friends have really encouraged me to, you know, affirmations, daily affirmations of goals. And I've started writing down daily goals and daily successes for each day. And I think that kind of focuses my goals and allows me to really pinpoint what I'm trying to do instead of just kind of being, oh, I want to do this, but how do I do it? You know, specific goals. Yes. Thank you.
