👨‍🎓👨‍🎓 You know, I was irrational for the greater part of 50 years of my life. Wow, I can't deny now that the choices I made in my life have lead me to many failures and successes as well.

I succeeded for 16 years as a data/network engineer, but just didn't quite get the promotions or pay raises I felt I deserved. I succeeded and failed a lot in my sales career between the ages of 18 and 33 years old. As well, the choices I made led me to the complete unfulfilled feeling of "I deserved that raise or that bonus" etc.

Due to my choices with women in my life, I have had successes and without a doubt, failures. Many a girlfriends from the age of 17 through the age of 35. All great to start and at the end dumped again for my bad choices. I hurt many women along the way and have even tried to make amends to exonerate them from my bad choices.

I got married, for the first time at age 35 and that lasted 8 hours. 2 years later I was divorced. I got remarried at age 38 on a whim and that didn't last as well. I produced a daughter who still after 18 years has only spoken to me as recently as 2 years ago for the first time. Since then we have lost touch again. 

👨‍🎓👨‍🎓‍ I thought I had learned something about the cards life had dealt me and always blamed everyone and anything to exonerate myself of any wrong doing. I'm 55 years old now and due to my choices in life, not the "cards life dealt me", I have learned over the past 8 months, that I was irrational.
