I’ve been a single dad, twice, and only now really realize how much better I could have done for my children, if I would have known then what I only realize now.

From my experience, it’s very complicated and each individual’s life journey so unique, because we are all conditioned by our parents/ancestry, extended family and friends, and to a large extent by our culture/society.

I believe that only once we become aware of and then choose to break free from these formative and often restrictive influences can we truly have a positive impact on those in our circle of influence.
