My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.
Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.
Great guy, I'm happy for him.
But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.
What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.
Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.
Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.
Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.
Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.
Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.
Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.
-----------------
When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.
Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

Listen up, atheists...
The mathematical probability that just ONE functional protein forms through random mutations under the pressure of natural selection is astronomically low. So low, in fact, that estimates push the required time beyond a trillion trillion years.
Yes, you read that right.
Over one trillion trillions.
Take a trillion, then multiply that by a trillion…
and keep going. That's older than the known universe.
That's how many years you would need for it to be more likely than not (>50% chance) that just ONE functional protein forms through the currently accepted evolutionary process (BTW: this also assumes the surrounding biological machinery needed to make and use that protein is already in place).
Biology operates on coded information (the genetic code). And when you’re dealing with code, you can calculate probabilities.
Think of it like a bike lock. If you know the number of possible combinations versus the one correct sequence, and how long each attempt takes, you can estimate how long it would take to crack it by chance. Now scale that up to the complexity of functional biological sequences.
Essentially, the math tells us that the known universe isn't even old enough for just one functional protein to have formed without guided influence (intelligent design), let alone all the complexity of life that we see today.
The very existence of life in our universe SCREAMS the existence of a creator.
Thank you,
Have a blessed day

Kobe Bryant: "Failure doesn't exist, it's a figment of your imagination"
An interviewer asks: "Are you someone who loves to win or hates to lose?"
Kobe responds:
"I'm neither. I play to figure things out. I play to learn something. Because if you play with a fear of failure or you play with the will to win that supersedes fear, I think it's a weakness either way. If you play with fear of failing, you'll capitulate to that fear. If you play with the sense of 'I want to win, I want to win,' then you have the fear of what happens if you don't. But if you find common ground in the center, you're unfazed by either. That enables you to stay in the moment and not feel anything other than what's in front of you."
The interviewer asks: "How did you become someone who doesn't seem afraid of failing?"
Kobe responds:
"What does failure mean? It doesn't exist. It's a figment of your imagination."
He explains with an analogy:
"Let's use happy endings. Everybody wants a happy ending, right? Snow White finds her prince and lives happily ever after. Well, I call BS on that because two months later, they had an argument and he's sleeping on the couch. The point is: the story continues. So if you fail on Monday, the only way it's a failure is if you decide to not progress from that. If I fail today, I'm going to learn something from that failure and try again on Tuesday. That's why failure doesn't exist."
The interviewer asks: "If you finished your career without a championship, would you have looked at that as a failure?"
Kobe:
"No. I would look at it as being extremely disappointed, because I had a dream and goals I wanted to accomplish. If I didn't accomplish those goals, I'd have to ask myself why. Poor leadership? Failure to communicate with my teammates? Lack of preparation? Those would be reasons why I didn't win. So I'd have to analyze that. And as I evolved post-basketball into business, those same weaknesses would reveal themselves there too. If I don't learn from that, I'm going to struggle again."
He concludes:
"I can take those situations and learn from them and have them make me a better person later in life. But if I don't take that stuff and apply it someplace else, that's failing. The worst possible thing you can ever do is to stop. It's to not learn."
