Henry David Thoreau said, “Most people lead lives of quiet desperation, and go to their graves with the song still in their heart.”
Statistics (for what they’re worth) tell us that “the majority” of people are locked into a life of drudgery, working at something they just don’t care about so that they and their families can survive another day.
Is that your story? Maybe it isn’t. If your life is fulfilling and exciting, it’s easy to lose sight of the quality of life your loved ones may be experiencing.
Perhaps it’s time to talk to your spouse and your children about their hopes, dreams, passions and goals. It may even mean your taking on more of a slog job to give your spouse an opportunity to study, to be equipped for something more in line with their talents, or to tide them over while they launch into something risky, but challenging and soul-satisfying.
Don’t let life pass the ones you love by, don’t leave them with a lot of “what-if’s” or “if-only’s”.
Talk, listen, make the hard decisions and sacrifice if you need to.
If you don’t, you might just come home to a desertion note, or worse, a suicide note.
