Is everyone where they thought they would be in life? We all had dreams as kids to become something did you actually make it there? I always wanted to be a cop OR be a successful businessmen banging a new woman ever night and driving a fancy car Stay single stay free!

i am the complete opposite I work in a trade union but I do make a very comfortable living. I am happily married to the same woman been with her the better part of a decade have two amazing kids.

Oh how we miss the forest for the trees and any other cliche you can add. But I wouldn't change anything now. The greatest feeling in the world is knowing a provide for a family I love and when I pull in the drive when my son comes running to me and the dog is wagging her tail and my baby girl smiles and I kiss the wife hello it's all worth it
 
if i could go back i'd change a lot of things.Played a mean game of golf in HS & College,scratch,won a lot of amature tournaments.Pussy and money were more important,gave golf up and here i am selling carrots.
 
I never really had a game plan of where I wanted to end up, all I know is that I never made it.
 
Is this what I wanted??? Don't think so... but man I can't complain.... My kids are turning out to be good people, and I still make up to a woman who indulges my whims after 30 years....I am content
 
I'm alive at my age.. something I never thought would have happened. I ran a rough life for a very long time without my care about the danger I used to put myself in..

children change you when you once lived that type of lifestyle
 
I'm not where I thought I would be at this stage in life. But then my ideals and goals seemed to change as age crept up.
In High School I wanted to be a Rock Musician. Did that to the degree that our band played back-up for three very big names in the rock world back in that day. But drugs and ego go in the way.
Then I started selling pot and coke. Wanted to be a millionaire. Got close twice, but got busted and went to prison, twice.
Got out the second time with a wife and two kids aging/growing up without a husband/Dad, so I decided it was time my priorities shifted.
Got a crappy job doing construction maintenance, basically solving problems and finishing punch lists. Hated the job, but every time I quit they poured more money at me. Now 19 years later at the same job, I've got it pretty decent, but still hate the work and the hours some times.
But with three grand kids now, and the possibility of a few more down the road from my other son, I just want to help get them through this night-mare of a world we live in by any means necessary.
I can break bricks with my hands, hit a center bulls eye from 70 yards, call on old brothers from my 1%er days, or just pick up my kid, wipe them off and tell them not to cry, and Papa loves them, or open the Bible and show them what I believe spiritually and what gets me through my day to day life.
But am I where I thought I'd be? Not even close!
 
Im kinda there bro. Although that dream has been revised several times, the revisions have all been achieved. The original dream was achieved and then I was like...now what? Got some new dreams and realized them. At this point Ive got some new ones. We will have to see what happens with those.
 
I didn't accomplish my original goal however I'm in the same business. I had a long struggle with alcoholism that kept me from achieving some things. I have no regrets about most of my choices in life. I suppose my only REAL regret is not being there for my son. I have gotten to a point in my life where everything is seeming to fall into place for me. The things that I have to complain about are very small these days and I like that. I have completely revamped my life and I feel great. This is the best I have ever been both mentally and physically.
