Traveling down the path of life we realize what is important. Working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, thinking you are making the sacrifice of your time to give your family the things in life you believe are best. I our failed attempts to do the right thing, in our beliefs do we really sacrifice everything important. Money is necessary to live, but to what extent are we willing to go? In the past 12 months I have realized I gave most of my life to my job and let my family suffer, lack of quality time is unforgivable. It started me on a downhill side into a very dark place, my wife left me, my youngest daughter doesn't think we have a connection. This has taken me into a place I where I can't see to find who I am. Feeling I have know where to go having a hard time monitoring my own actions has been very difficult. I find myself finally hitting the bottom of this dark abiss and trying to figure out where I need to be to get my mind going in the right direction. Getting caught up in the negative things that you may or may not be able to control is easy to do, feeling sorry for yourself and letting our mind fall into that negative reinforcement is by far easier than figuring out what it takes to stop and move forward. Learning from the failures in life isn't an easy task to accomplish, but sooner or later life doesn't give you choice either you accept them and grow or fall deeper, maybe a place you can never come out of.
