What is success?
People strive for success. They work late into the evening and at weekends to achieve it. What is it?
Is it attaining a high salary, expensive house, (if you’re a guy, expensive wife) and being able to afford the very best of everything? Is it reaching the pinnacle of success in one’s chosen profession?
Is reaching this goal worth putting off parenthood for? Judging by the number of 40-something women on dating websites looking for men who will marry them and father their children, some certainly think so.
There is another definition. When my father passed away 7 years ago, his house was nice but modest and his tastes were understated. But he loved and had the love of an amazing wife, 3 kids, 8 grandchildren, a sister, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and friends. And he was happy. He died feeling that he was a success. And I entirely agree with him.
I believe that without love, everything else is empty, and the people who are so busy with their own lives that they buy stuff for their kids in lieu of actual parenting that they have no time for, will never experience what my father did and that their success is an illusion.
