Harry Chapin said it best in his famous song "The Cat's in the Cradle," when he said "I'd like to Dad, if I had the time, but the new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu..blah blah blah."
Take the time to read the lyrics at http://www.lyricsdepot.com/harry-chapin/cats-in-the-cradle.html.
Analyze your life against the song's message. Are you taking the time to appreciate what is really important in life? As parents, we have done the best we can with what we have (had), but it is true that very unimportant things get in the way of what is really important. The sad part is that we did not know that at the time. Aging really does make you a lot smarter about life's lessons, and anyway, we never would have believed these things when we were younger and "knew it all."
So the lesson this week is to take the time to consider what is really important in life, and lead your life in that direction. It is never too late. At that point, you can say you understand and are reaching for self-actualization.
