[QUOTE="bball, post: 1522246, member: 23752"] It's a combination of things. Every man sets his priorities either consciously or subconsciously. For some, attempting to complete a never ending list of tasks helps to form/define their identity, adds self worth, self actualization, provides meaning and purpose. For others, focusing on the important relationships in their lives completes and fulfills those. It simply boils down to what a man decides are his priorities. I personally strive for balance in both areas and it presents a challenge. I personally believe relationships are the single most important thing in this life. While I find them the most rewarding and fulfilling, I often fall prey to the temptation of working the day away deep into the late evening or stealing away in my mind, making a mental list of all the things I think I should or need to be doing. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. The fenceline weeds are going to regrow back, etc etc. This takes away from time spent with my wife, children or friends. It's all about striking a balance between the physical task completion and enjoying the benefits of rewarding relationships. How does one define success? Is it money, a physical legacy one has built? Or the combination of several facets of a life well lived. Purely my opinion. [/QUOTE]
