You're old enough to have a wife and kid and you don't yet have a life's work or any idea what that might be. You're ordinary and that can be hard to accept. Just be the best father and husband you can be. There's nothing wrong with the reality of ordinary greatness. I have overarching life goals that may be attainable but I'll probably die alone of liver disease even if I achieve them so who's coming out on top in that comparison? The guy who lived a life filled with love or the one with a singular drive to do something that can be called vision? Go take your kid to Chili's tonight and buy him fried ice cream.
