5 year plans?

Where do you see yourself in a year, 5 years, 10 years...
I use to be someone that had this thought out, a plan, and it was set in stone, I might do other fun things along the way, but I have always hand major goals and visions of my future. Where has this gone? Somewhere into the redwood forest apparently...

Many people I know have envisioned something, set a deadline, wrote it all over calenders, and made it happen. It might be a rough road, but they have just gone at it by the date they set, and things happen. I know that I am being as patient as I can be, and trying to be financially responsible in my quest to grow and get to where-ever this place is that I want to be... but I need to really figure it out.. really set out a plan and goals, and figure out the steps to get to those things by that time.

Maybe this is coming out of a little friendly facebook investigating (stalking, curiosity, catching up with what people have been doing in life, whatever you choose to call it) at a friend from high school that will be graduating with her third degree in 2014, a full blown, degree loaded Dr.  Now I know I never had the full desire to become a Doctor, like a real people dr, or a animal dr, or any type of doctor really. Anyhow, another high school friend posted on her page that he was thinking about how disappointing it was that so many of the people from high school are really doing 'nothing' with their lives, and though... I bet Kameelah is doing something, and wam... sure enough, shes on degree numero 3... (grant it, I could have called that 10 years ago, the girl has always talked about how she is going to be a doctor, which I sure most have... it takes that much pre-planning and school focus to get there after all)

I know I am doing more then the 'nothing' of most people I graduated with that didn't go to college at all, went and stopped go, or maybe are still wandering around a JC somewhere taking random classes to maybe one day do something.

I know I am a tough critic... I am planning for a freakin' city (a small one, but still a real city) for goodness sakes, that is something... but I want to do more, I want something impressive to talk about, yet, maybe that is something impressive...

I need a paradigm shift... I know I am probably in the process of making this shift, which is why I am here, why I am trying to figure out my 1 year, 5 year, 10 year plans.. tentatively, but plans... and am having very little success other than coming up with a new "plan" every day or two...

I am waiting for the one that goes "BAM", that's it, go in that direction and you will be happy and enjoy the journey, and it is accomplishable... don't be scared, do not wait for someone to take you, just go, enjoy it and own it as your own, without anyone else...

but does this feeling of strength, urgancy, and determination to go somewhere or in some direction solo, really happen? I mean, in Real Life?

Has that happened to you yet? Do you have a 5 year plan? How do you get the guts to just jump?
