Having just passed the 500th blog posting here (sake for everyone!), I found myself pondering what is perhaps the biggest question of my existence during my lunch time walk. My wife and I are raising our kids with the goal of helping them grow up into the people they were meant to be. But in all of this time, I never asked myself, have I become the person I was meant to be? I almost stopped in my tracks because I really don’t know. If I can’t answer that question for myself, then it certainly begs the question of whether I can answer it for anyone else, including my kids.
But maybe that’s the whole point. I can’t see the endpoint because I’m not there yet. All I can do is make the best decisions I can based on the information I have on hand and some fundamental principles that come out of my spiritual and philosophical beliefs. I may be completely wrong in the end, but I won’t know that until this story is over, I hope.
