His thoughts drifted to his song references. "Cats in the Cradle” was a song by Harry Chapin about a father who, in his pursuit of material success, was too busy to spend time with his son during his childhood.  As the son grew up, he would often copy his father, saying, “We’ll get together soon, you know we’ll have a good time then.” The father, now filled with regret, realized the importance of spending time with his son.

Karma is always there and can be a harsh teacher.  A better solution is to recognize that throughout your life, our family and our relationships are not just important; they are essential. They are the cornerstone of our personal development and should be our top priority, far more than working for the next digit on our financial statement or the third new sports car.

Our actions today have consequences tomorrow, some intended and some unintended. Some consequences are physical.  In contrast, others are mental. Unfortunately, most of us didn’t learn this as children or in our early adulthood. Life would be a lot easier if this were embedded in our consciousness from childhood on.  On the other hand, we should teach our children about this fact from early on.
