I&#x27;m experiencing those same emotions in foresight.<p>I&#x27;m young---I&#x27;m 26, and I have a wife and two young children (2 and 4).  I&#x27;m at that age where I could have gotten involved in so much, personally and professionally---and still could.  And I know that this will be a bit setback for things I&#x27;d like to do in the future.  But time with my family is more important, and we also bought a house that needs a lot of work.<p>And I fully expect to be feeling exactly as you are describing.  And I&#x27;m trying to come to terms with that today, while I&#x27;m still young: focus on what I can be happy for today, recognize how my decisions affect my future, how I might adjust my plans, and recognize that the decisions I made (or didn&#x27;t) have desirable consequences that I wouldn&#x27;t change if I had the option to go back and do it again.<p>Thanks for sharing your experiences.
