I Wasted 40 Years Chasing the Wrong Thing

I need to tell you something while I still can. For four decades, I chased professional respect. I became the man people called when projects failed. I missed birthdays, conversations, and quiet moments with the people I loved. I told myself there would be time later. There wasn't. My wife is gone. My children are polite strangers. The career I built so carefully didn't follow me into old age. What stayed was the cost—the distance I created, the moments I can never reclaim. This isn't about motivation. It's about the truth of what happens when you spend your life proving something instead of being present for the people who needed you. I'm telling you this because I believed a lie: that later would come. That the people I loved would wait. That I could make it up to them someday. But later is a place you never arrive at. And now, at 87, I'm running out of time to be anything other than a cautionary tale. If you have people in your life who matter, be with them. Actually be there. Not after you've proven yourself. Not when things settle down. Now. Because one day you'll be where I am, and you'll understand exactly what you traded away.
