Why do you work so hard?
Why do you put yourself under so much pressure?
When I worked offshore on oil tankers and drilling rigs, we used to be away from home working for 9 months a year.
We used to justify that time away from home by telling ourselves:
“We are doing this for our families”.
That was the lie we would tell ourselves.
How many other lies are you telling yourself each day?
Do you put yourself under stress for your family?
Do you take this level of financial risk for your family?
Do you work 80 hours a week for your family?
Of course not, that is just the easy politically correct answer that absolves you of any responsibility for the shitty relationship you have with your wife and kids.
It's not your fault! You were working hard for your family!
When we live in reality, stay honest with ourselves, live with intentionality, I believe that we can have it all.
I believe that we all have the power to put together whatever life we desire.
It starts with honesty, and ends with intentionality and discipline.
One sure way to fail is to lie to yourself.
