I know I’m preaching to the choir on this one, but having a child has been the most positive mental shift of my entire life by a huge margin. My Dad unexpectedly passed away very young a little under a decade ago. My outlook on everything in life had been very gloomy ever since. It had been so long I thought that was just who I was now. Wrong. I now have such a positive and forward-thinking mindset on everything it’s like someone came in and turned the lights back on. If you don’t have any children, get on it. If you do, have another one.
