People spend their lives making plans for the future.
Sometimes we are too busy making plans and getting anxious about them. So we end up forgetting how to actually live.
The following heartbreaking Facebook post can teach us a lot about dreams that have been canceled. Sometimes ourselves can be the biggest enemy.
This man’s story is sad but it can really change your perspectives on life!
Wow. I couldn’t even imagine
You are a man that-instead of getting angry,defensive,self righteous-oh and blaming-sat down and did some introspection.I hope you don’t take all the blame.You were steady and focussed-two things our society holds in high esteem.And faithful/loyal-another two.A diligent,hard working father-and husband-that’s another two.Your descriptive and eloquent diatribe-although self-effacing-is powerful-and moving.Please ‘friend me’!

We all live a different life. The important thing is to strike a balance. You cannot control other people’s behavior you can only control yourself. Being a good provider to your family is a noble thing. The danger here is people start thinking oh i have to live my life and not save and then end up getting broke.
This is why I’m not going to be in a relationship
Unfortunately, in this world there is no such thing as FREE money.
He’s beating himself up when he had no alternative. If there was a money tree in his garden -then he’d have had access to those choices.
Life’s not all fun and games.
I’m 39 years old and in the same boat. My wife who I loved very much cheated on me and I was too busy with work and trying to get financial security.
there are some people that should read this
you have lived to work.happier people work to live.just making enough to live and enjoy your life, financial security is not everything. your wife should have been honest, not just used your hard earned cash to fund a life with her lover whilst you put in the hours.
Life is not over at 46. Regret is an albatross around your neck, Get over yourself and make a better life. This is a chance for you to make a different life. and quit wasting your time with lamintation on FB. Make peace w your past, and look forward to your future.

Takes balls to not only open up in this manner, but to also post it on social media. Kudos to this dude. Hope everything works out for the best.
Do you Know what an investment bank is? Investment bankers have to work long hours and over the weekend.

Did he say he was now 46???? Thats only half way!!!!!!! Someone needs to tell hom he still young….to go out and fulfill his dreams….to finish that novel. Travel the world…make amends with his son…..meet new friends…make passionate love….and say good riddens to his ex….all is not lost!!! Its just beginning!!!!
Very sad…
The path you chose to let the world know ur story is a seed of your future self that you are gonna be my friend, its never too late to reach out for what is worthy, peace unto you
The poor guy…
What did he honestly expect would happen?
It’s his fault the wife cheated on him? He shove a guy in her?

A 9-7 6 day a week job in a bank and he thinks he’s picked the safe path in life .. If money was everything , yaaaa but it’s not . The only thing safe about that is he’s less likely to get hit by a car .
Thanks man, kinda an important reminder to not being in the safe zone for such a long time. But people change eventually though.
The reason he chose the safe route was because of better judgement. How would he feel if he ignored this better judgement and fell flat on his face. He would live with regret.
