What do you really care about?

I mean what is it that keeps you awake at night or drives you during the daylight hours to do more than you think you can or should?
Is it your faith?
Is it your family?
Is it fear of success?
Is it fear of failure?
Is it money?
How about power?
The older I get the more things shift towards my family. They are everything to me. Abortion rights, gay rights, the Deficit, Obama, Romney, Paul, Iran et al... They are drastically less important.
My needs are to provide a home and safe haven for my family. The rest of this is just noise to me. I know I should be more involved in what ails the world but it's hard to view through a lens that does not leave me in a spittle fueled rage about the apathy that has left us where we are...
Anyway just curious. I wonder if all our needs aren't that much different.

I can keep myself up worrying about my family and they are what is the most important.
But lately I think I have been more concerned with where my career is going. It is very easy to get caught in a position that stagnates.

One of the main reasons I am in negotiations to buy another anodizing company is for a challenge. If I died tomorrow my family would be taken care of but I need something more to do.

Curiosity 
My family..
My future career
going back to college
seeing how it all ends.
experiencing new food and wines
travel to new continents and meeting new people
falling in love again and falling out of love
getting kids hopefully
growing old and crabby at my country house while learning to play the banjo.

Pussy and contracts. In that order.
Back to where I was before the wife and kids since the wife is dead and the kids are in their 30s with kids of their own.
Things never really change.

Lol sounds like my grandfather (no offense). After my grandmother died he ran around banging every golden girl he could get his hands on. A true role model.
But for me, friends and family are the only things that matter. The rest of it in the end doesn't matter.

Working out what to care about mostly, spent the last few years trying to work out some sort of balance. Finding that thin line where I give enough to my family, career and do enough things just for me that im not neglecting one or the other.

I had to make a deal with my wife, if I buy the new company I have to turn the other two over to other people to run, she likes this new place because it is mostly a Monday through Friday operation.

I care about my family but I think I'm mostly self centered because most of the time that's all I got
Hope to one day change that though
