Where Do You See Yourself In 5 to 10 Years

Where Do You See Yourself In 5 to 10 Years
Kevin Davis 2025

Today began as what I’d call a good day— A springtime morning, bright and full of play. I basked in sunlight, letting my mind drift To younger years, when life was more a shift.

I thought of all the weight those decades bore— Family and career, and countless duties more. But time moved on, and burdens found their end, Leaving family as my truest, closest friend.

In work, I hired many through the years, Gave worthy hands a chance to climb the tiers. And interviews would circle back again: “Where do you see yourself in five or ten?”

So now today, I ask myself anew: What lies ahead, and what do I pursue? No longer bound by ambition’s tight tether, I seek a gentler vision altogether.

Perhaps I’ll tend the bonds I’ve slowly grown, Or wander down new paths I’ve never known. I’ll balance joy with rest in equal measure, Where purpose glows and life becomes a treasure.

So where will I be in five or ten years? Living life fully, unburdened by fears.
