It's a day to fondly remember my dearly departed dad. Agree. The best way to honor our departed fathers is by how we live the rest of our lives so we all better get busy because we have much to do.

IMO, Being motivated to do something is good, but I suggest that one avoid allowing guilt to motivate them. Starting a journey by looking at how far you are from your desired outcome is quite de-motivating and can be a stressful setup for failure. Set yourself up for success every moment. Choose a direction, don't set a goal. Setting no goal means that you always experience success with every small step, as long as you make progress in the direction you want to go at that time. Every tiny step in your chosen direction is a success. Without any commitment to a specific result, the direction can be adjusted along the way, and do so guilt free, as your experiences reveal new interests. There is continual satisfaction in every small success along your path. The joy of reaching the destination is short lived, but nice for old folks who want applause for stories about their past that no one gives a shit about anyway. Enjoy the journey, free from any sense of failure or guilt and, as much as possible, never allow anyone to impose guilt of failure upon you. It's your chosen direction, not theirs. HERE is another article by Leo Babauta about lessons his kids learned from him. (There is an "article" archive at the bottom of each webpage.)

I'd just like to send my thanks out to Charles Atlas, the father of isometrics.

Today, it's a wise father who knows as much as his children.

In that case, RE: wise, I'm screwed.
