And you have one of the best posting to you right now, with my friend Ian (nice to see you buddy..).

I do have a question for you though...

So you walk into the best Steak house in the country, you sit down, and order the biggest Steak on the menu.

They bring it out and place it in front of you....


Do you cut it up, and savor every bite ??

Or do you try to take it down whole ???


Just curious....



Hello Mach. Thank you very much for posting here. I have read your posts on the Denver_2010 thread. Your words there have already immensely helped me understand the need to detach.

As for your question... I would cut the steak up and savor every bite. As I'm sure the restaurant is a wonderful place to be... I would savor the steak even slower to savor the surroundings and company as well.


First off...thank you for your words...

Secondly...

If you would take that approach with the Steak...

Then why are you trying to take this whole situation on all at once ?

You are trying to deal with this as a total unit, instead of focusing on the parts of it that ....

A-Make you a better man...

Which in turn...

B-makes you a better Father...

Yes ???

Look dude, right here, right now...

Your marriage is dead...gone, kaput, over and out...

So why are you still trying to deal with situations as if you are still in a committed relationship with your wife ??

And that doesn't mean, that somewhere down the road, you cannot have a better, more fulfilling relationship , that may or may not include your current spouse...

There are no guarantees for the future, because your future is yet to be written. You get to do that...One day at a time, one step at a time...



And if I still understand Ian speak....

You HAVE to be the rock for that boy, and show him how to navigate through life's challenges and situations. No matter how large or how small...

Make no mistake, he is watching you....very closely.

Break this down to what you want ( as in goals that do not include another person)....

And what you need to do...

Simplify......

You only get one shot at leaving a legacy...

Be the memory today, that you want him to have in the future...
