What Next?

When a goal is accomplished how often do you ask yourself, ‘What next?’?

We dream the dreams, make the plans, take the steps (or more often hesitate in getting started), and maybe get distracted or disillusioned by the process.

But for each achievement, how often do you truly enjoy the  accomplishment, and pause in the glory?

Yesterday I had the joy in being awarded a Graduate Diploma in Sociology & Applied Social Research from the University of Limerick here in Ireland. The day was lovely, the ceremony inspiring, and in sharing with friends who also graduated, the love in camaraderie in our success was a celebration in itself.

Yet today, reflecting on this achievement, the first thing I think  is 'what next?'. I am continuing on my academic ventures with a dissertation to achieve the Masters in Applied Social Research, yet the speed with which I moved from joy to a sense of starting from a new beginning had me curious as to why the goal is never enough.

Each achievement is merely a stepping stone in helping us consider an even bigger dream, a better path, a more fulfilling journey. Yet what is the ultimate fulfilment for our life and for our purpose?

For many of us, the vision of a goal fulfilled is what drives us forward and helps us overcome any hurdles or blocks that may come our way. It is the glimpse of the success that drives us forward, yet the experience itself is often, upon reflection, is the essence of the fulfilment - the sense of 'it is all worth it in the end'. 

 So, in the vision of your fulfilment, your life's purpose what do you want your legacy to be?

In consider the 'what next', allow yourself the space to reflect on the 'when' that made your life what it is today.
