As of right now:
-I am in Bloomington, Indiana, United States of America, Earth, Milky Way galaxy...
-I am in my home, in the living room, lounging on the couch...
-I am with my wife, Elizabeth and step-daughter, Katie...
-It is about 11:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time...
Everybody's gotta be somewhere, and this is where I am. As of now.
Where are you?
Take all the time you need to answer...I'll be here when you get back.
Taking stock of where one is from time to time is probably wise. Am I on track to be where I want to be five years from now? Am I where I want to be education-wise, profession/job/employment-wise, health-wise?
Do I need to make some course-corrections? Is my next move forward, backward, upward, onward, or would I do well to hunker down for a spell?
Back in 2009, Samir Bharadwa suggested posing the following questions to help get a fix on where one is at any given time:
-Where was I back then?
-Where did I want to go?
-Am I getting there?
-Do I still want to go there?
-What stopped me from getting there?
-Did I overreach?
-Did I under perform?
-Did I just not know clearly where I was going?
-What held me back? What distracted me?
-What pushed me in the right direction?
-How does where I wanted to go back then gel with what I now know, to change my path forward?
Well, everybody's gotta be somewhere. I'm good with where I am right now.
And you?
