Curveballs

Events in most of our lives constantly throws us off balance.

One recent event that lead to where I am now is my father losing his job. My parents are having a tough time financially. I have to help them, because if i do not, no one will. I will not stand around to witness them suffer.

This event has really impacted my desire to better my love life. To me, that objective takes a backseat to my family. The impact of the event is felt in my inner game. I had been on a quest to improve myself. It was necessary after many years of procrastination. I like many other men, didn't take the advice to make the most of our youth seriously enough (i.e. youth is wasted on the young). My motivation to improve has taken quite the downturn in the past few weeks. I'll bounce back, but this is just a reminder of the impact of procrastinating.

It is disheartening to know that the world will leave you behind once you are older and unable to keep up with the demands of society. We too can lose our jobs when we're older, when our certain skills become obsolete.

I don't know where this will lead my family, but hopefully we'll find a way out of this. The primary objective now is to find new economic opportunities in all situations that I encounter.
