This has been a common thread amongst many a conversation had!
How is it that a person can be prouder of his work than his family?
Is it because he feels a stronger sense of accomplishment with his work than his family?
Is it because he feels it is much harder to run a successful business than a successful family? Is it in their minds, that "anyone" can produce a family, so it is not all that special?
Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines "special" as:
1: distinguished by some unusual quality; especially : being in some way superior
2: held in particular esteem a special friend
3 a: readily distinguishable from others of the same category: unique they set it apart as a special day of thanksgiving b: of, relating to, or constituting a species: specific
4: being other than the usual: additional, extra
5: designed for a particular purpose or occasion
Is this what men (and some women) are searching for the recognition of being special?
It appears it come down to a self esteem issue?
So why would a person have a lack of self esteem around their family?
Do they not feel worthy?
Do they feel insecure with success in their family?
Or is it simply they see the results of their work and it means more?
It all comes down to ones perspective!
Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines "perspective" as 2 a: the interrelation in which a subject or its parts are mentally viewed
Would it be that we need to stop and take a new perspective on our families, husbands, wives and friends?
Enjoy your new perspective.
I am!
