Introduction
The title for this article is a quote from Dr. Jordan Peterson that I heard one time (from a YouTube short). I literally heard him say the sentence, and kept scrolling, but the idea remained in my head because, at that stage, it was especially relevant to me.
“You Can Have Whatever You Want … In Five Years” means that an entirely different situation, dream, career, future, life experience can be yours in five years, if you Research, Plan, Act, and Adapt in accordance with your well-thought out Goal.
