Would highly recommend you read Barry Moltz's: "You Need to be a Little Crazy":

http://www.amazon.com/You-Need-Be-Little-Crazy/dp/079318018X...

I'm 39.5 with 3 kids and working at my 3rd startup. You make sacrifices and I'd be lying if I said my marriage hasn't been strained at times mostly due to financial worries.

It really comes down to this:

“If you bring forth what is within you, what is within you will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what is within you will destroy you.”

You have to bring it forth!

Cheers

If you bring forth what is within you, what is within you will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what is within you will destroy you.

Wow, a quote from the Gnostic gospels. Very cool. Here is another:

His disciples questioned him and said to him, "Do you want us to fast? How shall we pray? Shall we give alms? What diet shall we observe?" Jesus said, "Do not tell lies, and do not do what you hate."

I've often thought of that when I was in work situations where I really did not want to be.

And what did you do?
I exchanged the situation for one that involved telling fewer lies and doing less of what I hate.
Does that mean you still tell lies and sometimes do things you hate? :)
