Became a dad and finally got my priorities straight

When my son was born I was working 70 hour weeks at a job I hated trying to climb a ladder nobody wanted to climb. After he was born something just clicked. I realized I was missing everything. We made the tough call - took a job making less money but reasonable hours. Best decision we made. I actually know my kid now instead of just seeing him asleep when I get home. Relationship with my wife improved too. Turns out constantly stressed and exhausted wasn't the vibe. Should've done this sooner.

That's the real deal right there. I still work hard but the tournament schedule and family time come first now. Everything else is just noise.

Man, that's awesome. I had the same wake-up call when my first was born - realized I was grinding away for nothing that mattered. Sounds like you found what actually counts.

Getting out with the kids and watching them explore beats any promotion I could've chased. Glad you figured that out early, man.
