Before the the year ends wanted to post a quick follow up to the other night. After my failure post I asked my wife if she thought I was a failure and she said no. I asked if her if she thought of us as successful and her response wasn’t quite so clear. She thought we were doing well, but didn’t think success wouldn’t feel so financially tight and challenging as it always seems to be with us. I can see her point. Some savings and a few vacations to nice places may go a long way to helping her feel that we are more successful.
I guess I’m just so dramatic and need to lighten up a little bit. I’m not a failure. Sure I have failed a bunch, but that’s a good thing. I have also had a bunch of success. True success is in reach. I just have to keep trying and feel that before long we will make it happen. True success. Undeniable American Dream kind of success that will also come with the personal internal fulfillment I’m looking for and hope to provide for my family. I’ll let you know when my wife and daughter agree that we’ve made it. I’m sure the bar will continue to be raised on that measure, but that’s a good thing too.
Happy new year.
