RE: This is #Mysteemstory, Consider Sharing Yours to Make New Friends and Make Steemit a Bit More Social! Thanks!
It's hard for me to be able to be satisfied with a decision when it wasn't what was most profitable or beneficial in the long-term. I admire your ability to not regret the decision to cash out and being able to see what is helped you accomplish instead of value missed.
Thanks for sharing. I have two little ones so far, and we also had home births.
Take care
Hey, that's awesome on the home births. Well, I'm a bit of a pragmatist, I suppose. I have today. Tomorrow will have to take care of itself. Now, that doesn't mean you shouldn't prepare, but, when your daughter is getting married, you can't just say no, especially when the ask is as small as hers was. I'm 46 and I've survived the death of all of my grandparents, and both of my parents. I've lost my dream job, after living it for 15 years, and I'm still here. You start to understand what has value. When I watched my inlaws go through the housing bubble and lose so much in their 401ks they didn't even have what they'd put into it anymore, forget any dividends, I realized, there is no such thing as security in this world. So, I can believe in a benificent universe, a malignant universe, or a benign universe. I choose the first.
Wow. Great point. I think its important to keep in mind that things can always get worse, but to really celebrate what goes right and not get lost in what we can't control (much easier said than done in my experiences).
Also, it's important to remember that things can always get better. I like to ask, what's the best that could happen?
Gratitude, for whatever is, is the biggest key to having a happy life. We get more of what we focus on. It's actually very simple, but not easy.
