If you were able to split time and replicate yourself, where would your paths take you?
I would probably have taken the risk of starting my own firm two years ago. This would be instead of taking the safe path with a great paycheck and minimal risk, but with a lower upside and less freedom. It would be hard to envision a life without the kids, so this would be the most obvious "fork" I could've taken in my life and one that I most think about.
If you were to sit down with the much older and different yous, what might you discover?
Older/future Joe would probably just tell me to run with it. I have slowly learned this as I've grown older. You can't do everything you want to, but if you are happy more times than not, you're doing well. Make the most of what you have, improve on what you can, and learn to let go of regret as you wouldn't be where you're at today without all of the decisions you've made.
