[QUOTE="Sirhc7897, post: 16569560, member: 10294"] In my mid twenties I lost it all financially (over extended on developing large land tracts with some bad partners who shafted me). I picked myself up off the floor, started back from zero and rebuilt to where I wanted to be. Late 30’s found out my wife was having an affair with her co-worker and upon filing for divorce from her she attempted to kidnap my children and move them to another city. 2 years and a six figure divorce bill later and my children live with me and life is getting back to normal. There are ups and downs but the kids and myself are happier than we’ve ever been. The process of me going through rebuild number two required me to re-evaluate what mattered. I can always make more $$ down the road; but this time with my children, once lost, can never be gotten back. So I had a talk with my owner who turned out to be amazingly supportive and I adjusted my life accordingly. What’s important to you will change throughout your life. You’ve just got to be able to objectively look at your life and adjust accordingly to stay where you want to be. In the right scenario there’s absolutely nothing wrong with living for others. Sometimes they need you more than you need them and that’s OK. You can find a renewed purpose and satisfaction in doing for others that you simply can’t find in doing for yourself. I still have hobbies and a life but I feel better about myself in my early 40’s having made my children the central focus of my life than I ever did pursuing material wealth and personal satisfaction. It sounds very cliche but you truly can’t quit and can’t focus on the negative as it will just consume you and it’s infinitely harder to get re-started if you stop than it is to keep trudging through the down times.
