He with the most stuff wins. Having problems and money is better than having problems and no money. Having worked my ass off my whole life the story above (post 2) hits a chord. In the end ...... What's important. I've actually done many of the items stated in the 5 regrets. I have stayed in touch with life long friends. I still communicate with my first friend. He and I grew up together a couple of houses away. I've known him since I was 4. Believe it or not I still remember meeting him for the first time when I moved into the house my family grew up in. Two other close friends of mine I met when I was 12 and 15. We shared many teen experiences together. I was like a 6th son in one family and the other guy and I trotted off to basic training together through "The Buddy Program". I have pictures of them in my photo albums. They are a direct connection with my past. My ex in-laws are still good friends of ours (both me and Sue). They call us their son in law and daughter in law. Habits are hard to break. I still bust my ass. Why? Because I don't know how not to. Even when I was drinking I was a hard worker. Being focused on stuff helps me to avoid thinking about things I don't want to think about. Ever thought about something that nobody else has ever thought about? ..... Think about it. |
