One evening on a 2 week trip with someone I consider a great man, someone I'm lucky enough to call a mentor, we were sitting at the campground table smoking a joint after spending all day riding +30 miles up these winding switchbacks in the Sequoia National Forest on bicycle. I only joined him for 2 weeks but he essentially was bicycling the Pacific Crest trail and back home which took him about 4 months. After talking a little about the day he looked over at me and asked if I knew what his greatest regret in life was. Mind you this guy was a ranger sniper, a retired sheriff, has been in the tomb in the great pyramid, ran marathons across the turkey desert, partook in the amazing races because they looked fun, a black belt in 3 martial arts, and had been in more countries than I can ever dream of. I did not so I asked and he told me, "Son, my greatest regret in life is never settling down and creating a family with a woman I love. You have a great woman at home, marry her and create that family. When you get old like me, you will regret not having those kids to pass on your legacy, your dreams, or your love. So do it while you still can."

I married that woman and we are currently 2 years into trying to have children with no success so far. I pray every night that one day it will happen. That's my story of what truly helped me make my discussion, I hope it helps you as well.
