I've been thinking loads lately on the above topic, inspired partly by reading the book mentioned in previous blogs. The main questions I ask myself are: 'How do I make sure that my child(ren) have a happy childhood? How do I make sure that they get lots of opportunities to do fun things and grow? How do I make sure that they feel loved? How do I make my wife feel loved whilst doing all the above? And how do I manage to do this, when I need to work, and need to make my life count in the wider scheme of things in some way?'
Oh, and I'm not a superperson. One of those people who can work a high-powered job, have loads to give to their families and friends, and manage a charity on the side. I'd love to be like that, but I should admit my limitations.
Big stuff, and I suppose that you just sort of work these things out as you go once you have kiddies and are in the thick of it. But I suspect that people who think about these things get closer to achieving them, unless they are wonderful people who can just do it instinctively. I am not a wonderful person and therefore need to work it out. But I can't work it out. Just can't see how it can all happen.
