Future

Decided on my job earlier this week. Took a big 'pay cut' to work in San Diego rather than Seattle. It was a really tough decision, really tough thinking about my future, how much money I'll make, what kind of life can I provide for my family, my kids. Growing up I always thought I didn't need much money, I didn't really care about the high status jobs. But when the situation finally came up, it was a lot harder to decide.

Ultimately, in life I just want to be happy. I want my friends and family to be happy, and I think that's about as far as it goes. If I can work on that, my life can be considered successful. Hopefully, money won't be an issue, hopefully I won't be raising my kids in the future thinking, what if I took the Boeing job?

Something I wrote a while back: I don't live this life for recognition, for a title, No, that only shows what I have done in the past. What I'm really concerned about is the future. I live this life to know that the future is better off
because I forced the universe to move in that direction. Let me live for hope of the future, not remembrance of the past.
