One of my friends sent this along to me since many in our circle are turning 30 this year. I thought it was pretty good advice, which he got from Dennis Prager, a conservative commentator that I normally disagree with on political issues. In this instance, I thought Prager shared some very useful advice for men out there.
Here’s what he said:
Men make themselves unhappy by bemoaning their lack of achievement. At 30, they feel that they should have had more success, at 40, at 50, at 60 and all the years in between. No matter how much success a man has, he’s usually disappointed that he didn’t go farther. But we rarely if ever achieve what we imagine. Just recognizing that this problem is universal to men can alleviate some of the pain.
So are you a man approaching one of these milepost ages? Does this sound like you? If so, you might re-read the advice shared above. I’ve read it at least once a day since it was shared with me and am passing it on to others to share with those who may benefit from it.
Now, on to planning my next great achievement!
Mahalo!

To me all you can be is what you are. Why dwell on what you haven't achieved? If you want to do something, go out and do it at any cost that it may present. Be happy with what you are and what you have accomplished. Getting all riled up about what you should have, could have and didn't do makes for just more to worry about in one's life and there are many more important things in your life to worry about. :)
Oh my friend, I think you will achieve your achievements. I have no doubt about that :)
