Yes. I have the career I set out to have several years ago, have hit most of my goals and milestones that I've set and am making a solid salary.
Coach
Thank you for your answer, POM1. If you would be willing to answer, I have a follow up question.
Is there anything or anyone you credit to your success? (A lesson you learned, a trait you have, a person you meet, etc)
In terms of career, yes. I love my job and I could say that I am in my prime right now. But as an individual, I still have a lot to learn and prove.
Coach
Thank you for responding CM1 and for taking an additional perspective on the matter by adding in the separation between work and personal life and how success in one doesn't necessarily mean success in the other.
Do you have any goals in either that you are working for that you would be willing to share?

I would say yes, because I have completed all the goals I set for myself for this year. But I am a recent grad so I have many more goals down the road to complete.
But in hindsight, I wish I could tell my freshman year of college self to not be a hedonistic dumbass and try harder in school. I didn’t do terribly but I know I could’ve done better and befriended people who were a good influence. Turned it around by the end and have a pretty good job now, but it upsets me sometimes to think of the opportunities I could’ve had if I had applied myself more back then.
Coach
Writing down goals and holding yourself accountable makes sense. And I can see how scaring yourself straight can end up being effective. How do you hold yourself accountable? If you are the only one directly impacted by your choice, it might help you give yourself excuses. Do you reprimand yourself in way? Deny yourself of something you enjoy as punishment?
Where's the line between consistently reviewing your flaws and mistakes for the purpose of improving and reviewing them because you are anxious? How do you prioritize the process improvement of removing bad habits and implementing good habits? Do you rank them by their importantance or impact on your life?
Thank you for answering my questions so far, and sorry for not responding sooner.
Yes. I am happy with my career and where my life is right now. I feel very happy about it.
