first thank you so much for responding so quickly. I am actually in the middle of finishing NMMNG. I do have some of the traits being mentioned in the book. I suppose I did start prioritizing my family because of my value system but I think it has more to do with the fact that she has been so focused on her career, so fear sets in, if she isn't around as much then what happens to the kids. If we are both so driven to excel in our individual careers, then will the kids be left behind, etc? These are fears or worries of mine.
These are probably weak excuses, and I am doing it more so because I am comfortable, but definitely something to examine. I, in my career, am doing well, but definitely not living to my full potential, while she is now realizing hers, so I guess I am feeling left behind. I really need to work on not comparing and being present in my own life.
So isittoolate, are you working on realizing your true potential or have you decided that your family is your definition of success? In your journey what have you come to realize?
I appreciate your thoughts.
