I’ll bite on this one; it’s cheaper than a therapist (Lord knows I wouldn’t go anyways too). Maybe it’s current events getting me down or maybe I’m just missing my dad as I lost him in an accident a couple months back, but I’m going to spin this a bit so hope you stay a minute to listen.

My dad always took advantage of a teachable moment and I carry all those with me now. Now how he went about my raising might raise some eyebrows and to each their own I guess. Him being in the military meant we didn’t have much and moved a lot.

I remember starting second grade in a new school and getting picked on at the bus stop by some older neighborhood kids because of what I was wearing. One of the bigger boys punched. It was the first time I’d been punched in my life and had to go first day of school with a shiner.

I came home and confided the events to my dad and cried and pleaded to move back where we just came from. I’ll never forget but he looked me in the eyes and said, “Son, hear this now. A man will never really know what kind of man he is until he gets hit real hard. You got to decide to fight or run away. But if you run, you’ll never stop running when things get tough.” I made my choice.

He took leave the next day and walked me to the bus stop and stood there while I fought that boy, who was bigger and older than me, that had hit me and warned them others to not interfere. I got the best of him by using a few moves dad taught me. I’ve walked through life differently ever since.

It’s how you respond to adversity that matters. Loss of opportunities, failures, etc. are going to be a constant in this life we all zig-zag through. These things build character and constitute a testimony. Living like this takes the sting out of regrets and helps you turn the page and get back in it.

On the monetary side of things, I’ve seen people die right in front of me in the line of duty and in civil service as a provider to those at the end of their lives. It’s always relationships that are talked about whether in the spirit of regret or thankfulness. Never had anybody lament not making more money or acquiring more stuff on their death bed.

Just my ramblings. Sorry to derail your thread Jerry! Wish you and everyone else the best!
