I couldn't sleep last night after a long day of work and then kid stuff.
I realized my life, personal goals, abilities and success have very little bearing on my kids. I've pretty much lived my life, I'm not going to strike it rich or make some huge accomplishment at this point it's all about supporting and teaching them. It's kinda a hard one to swallow in a selfish way especially snide I grew up doing physical activity where there was plenty of benchmarks. Just a weird feeling, I'm not saying I shouldn't do my best and work my ass off it's just there are way more important things |

The past 14 years, I've worked extremely hard a building business. I sacrificed my children's childhood for 15hr work days, 7 days a week. What do I have to show for it?, other than material items, a broken down body, a larger tax bill and children who have a sense of entitlement. I wish, I'd taken them camping more. |

Yep. My career is 5 years from forcing me out, just when my kids hit college.
I may try to get something going after this job is done, or I may just be the greeter at Walmart. But I'm not going to be a rock star or famous inventor, or set any records, just an average joe , hoping to turn out some decent kids and live a good life. |

That's exactly how I feel, It's not negative but it's just reality, I've pretty much lived my life as an individual |
