A Tragic Loss

As I write this, my whole family is in a state of shock.

Last evening, about 4PM Lisa and I get a phone call from our oldest daughter, Michaela.

As soon as Lisa picked up the phone, it was glaringly obvious that something was drastically wrong, as Michaela was crying profusely.

We soon discovered that her best friend had just been involved in a fatality car accident with a motorcyclist, and Michaela was calling from the scene of the accident.

After hearing this, Lisa and I immediately raced out the door to go check on Michaela.

I was completely unprepared for what we were about to witness.

While I won't go into all the details here, I will tell you that I understood why Michaela was so hysterical when she called us just 10 minutes earlier.

Due to the severity of the accident, the State Patrol required that the kids stay at the scene until their investigation was complete.

Lisa and I sat on the side of the road as they struggled through their tears to tell Lisa and I what had happened.

And as they did, my heart sank.

I couldn't even begin to imagine the pain they were feeling inside.

A short while later, one of the State Patrol officers came over to inform us that the investigation revealed the motorcyclist was at fault, and the kids were now free to go.

Though I assumed this would be the case (after hearing the kids story), it didn't make any of us feel much better.

As you can imagine, we spent the whole evening with the kids, talking about how they felt, listening them cry, and doing our best to comfort them.

The whole experience reminded me once again, that life is incredibly fragile and we need to make the most of it.

It made me think back to when I used to be an Alaska Fisherman, what a workaholic I was, and how much I missed out on by spending so much time at sea.

I'm so thankful for the life I now get to live and the fact that my work will NEVER take precedence over my family again.

We've all heard it said that nobody on their death bed ever says, "I wish I could've worked more".

In fact, it's just the opposite.

Most folks wish they would have spent more time enjoying life, and spending time with those they love.

Only thing is, it takes a little bit of money in order to afford this luxury.

And while I used to think that you had to work "hard" if you wanted to make a really good income, over the last several years, there's one thing that has become glaringly obvious to me…

There's absolutely no correlation between how hard you work, and how much income you make.

None whatsoever!

Myself and my clients are living proof of this fact.
