I’ve been a bit lost as of late and I think it has a lot to do with my age. This is not the entirety of the problem, but more of a symptom of an underlying condition, which resonates more specifically at the frequency of failure. I’m at an age now where I thought I would have a lot more figured out, and frankly a lot more. Yet here I stand the owner of nothing and able to pass nothing on to my kids beyond decent advice. This is not the way to build a legacy or generational wealth or any of it. I’m in a relationship with a partner who has created all of that for her kids. They’ll have something when we are gone. My kids won’t, and I have to recognize that this may never change. The displaced feeling is about not feeling like I have anything that can’t be taken away from me or can be passed on when I pass. It makes me feel like all I tried to create I failed at and now I’ll never get a chance to do because I’m past that age of being able to create that in any meaningful way.
I hope I don’t pass that on to my kids.
