If I had my choice, I would change careers, but I have the financial responsibility to family to think of first...
How many of us really lucky enough to have a job doing our life’s passion and get paid for it to boot? Especially is today’s ever competitive economy. But is that really the case for you? If you place the desire of your wife for you as your top priority, then does it matter so much what kind of career you have, as long as you are relatively content? For you, wouldn’t that job be just a funding mechanism for you to equip your fishing toolbox? Maybe refining and honing your fishing skills is your goal and your job is just a means of achieving that goal. For others, this may not be true.
...(although Deida says to put ourselves ABOVE the families needs).
Are you sure he said that? I think he said that a man needs to wholeheartedly pursue his goal in order to better achieve it, in order to share more of the fruits of his success. That does not necessarily mean a man puts his career above the family. To me, it means the family does comes first, but a man does that by being the provider. To provide well, he must be steadfast in pursuit of his goal…. to better provide. Remember, Dieda also says the woman provides the inspiration for the man to pursue his goal (I interpret “woman” to also include family). So isn’t pursuit of the goal really done for sake of the family?
There is just one problem with all this, there is an assumption that the fish can smell the bait. What if they can't smell the bait or see the bait?
I want to ask you one more time CeMar – do you have a problem interpreting communications from others? You seem to have a tunnel vision way of looking at statements with very little room for subjectivity. It’s almost like you can only interpret things in the very literal words in which they are written. Your last statement is an example of this. It is sooooo literal.
I do not mean to fault you for this, but it would go a long way toward explaining why so many of the same comments from so many posters seem to continually not register with you. It would also help us here on the board to better understand how to communicate with you.
Do you know if you have such communication problems? Has anyone ever said anything like this to you, especially something like Aspergers or autism? What does your wife or your parents say about this? Give me a direct reply to this question.
