    I don't think of past achievements very much, because they're in the past, and unless they're going on a resume or I'm telling one of my kids about it, they're not that relevant to my life today. My achievements in the future are thought of even less, because they have yet to happen, and they may or may not happen. The furthest I like to look back is to think back on the day, or maybe the week, and it's about the same for looking ahead.

    Well, I never used to worry very much about the past or the future till I was about 25... Life sort of just "happened", but then I got to 25... Things change. I worked in retail from the age of 19 and I was a manager of my own store at that time, I got to the top of my game and I was desperately unhappy. I achieved a lot, but not in the stuff that was realy important to me. I changed jobs and was deleriously happy for about a year... (after going to work for less than half my salary!) Then, becomming a better mother was my focus... and so I did, I love my daughter dearly and I think she feels loved, I became a better housewife and a better wife... Now I am 29 and I have never really done anything for myself... I want to study art in the future (if finances permit), loose the weight I have gained after my child and be good to myself... THAT would be the an achievement for, not only me, but the people around me too... (I think about all of this VERY often, at least twice a day)

    On a fairly regular basis. You learn from your past to help move to a better place in the future. For me almost daily. But I set small goals that are achievable and my resume would astound you:-) Feel free to contact if the information was not full enough, didn't want to write a book unless you needed it:-)

    I think of them more often now that when I was younger. I realize now that I've never explored life for myself. I haven't had great adventures or visited very many places. All my life was about was working, paying for a home, serving my family and seems like everyone else. What a boring life I've led. I regret that. I'm not blaming anyone but myself.
