I’ve spoken to Gerard Vaughan and Kingy, and I think there is an underlying issue for us all: how do we replace something as intense and as wonderful as our live in the seminary? It left quite a vacuum.
When I left the seminary, i did struggle to find the signficant meaning that it provided. I don’t find it in my career, quite frankly. I find a certain amount of satisfaction having success in business and helping other people and seeing employees grow and making a profit. But for me it would be like six out of ten.
I’ve had that lingering sense that anything else that I’ve done subsequently is great is good, but it’s not the ultimate. It’s not to denigrate what I’ve done in my life. It’s not to undermine the importance of family and partners. But there was certainly something very big that we are part of: that mision, that vocation, which we passionately believed in – or I did anyway.
There are echoes of that in my life now. In some of the things I have done in my life: my tenacity in business that wes struggling; my tenacity in my relationship. What’s important to me is things that will last. The business isn’t important, but being loyal to my family, through thick and thin is.
