Russ - thank you for all the work you've put into this thread.

I think I just discovered what it feels like to understand the difference between WANTING and your true VALUES.

Throughout the process of creating my plan, I know I've WANTED to have my work outlive me in the form of creating buildings. But I realized something very important about my VALUES today.

i'm at work today, working on creating buildings and trying my best to acquire the knowledge to become excellent at it. My best childhood friend is in town for 24 hours. Right now he is taking a tour of San Francisco, walking around, seeing the sites, having a beer out by the Bay, etc.

As I was walking back to my office after lunch, it hit me. I realized I didn't want to go back to my office. I wanted to be with my friend. I wanted to catch up, laugh about old stories and have a beer with the guy who was my best friend for 17 of my 29 years.

No building in the world could ever mean more to me than spending the day with my friend. Not Trump Tower, not anything.

WANTING and VALUES. There really is a difference. WOW.

I am on the verge of tears as I am writing this. I think that means I'm on the right path.
