Yes, 2 wonderful small children, a partner of 12 years I wouldn't trade the world for and a job where I enjoy going to work.
Funnily enough we were talking last night that she might bump me off as my life insurance policies are good at the moment

I think that no matter what you've done with your life, you will always wonder at times if things could have been better if you'd made different choices. I think most people are fully aware that they only have one life and that time is ticking away. I know for a fact that no matter what I achieve in my life I will wonder about the decisions I made along the way.
No matter how rich somebody is, or good looking, or whatever, they will always find things that they want to be better. I think we are programmed to be like this - it's in our make up. If people were satisfied with their lives then we wouldn't go to such lengths to seek out and overcome new challenges. I think this is why finding happiness is such a hard thing to do. It really isn't an easy thing to be truely content.
On a light hearted note... even if you've spent half a decade saving up and building yourself a 600bhp Scoob - you will still wonder what it would be like to have 700bhp. Not a bad thing, just always important to appreciate what you've got.

I think I am in a damn lucky position were every day is a joy and I remember years ago when the thought of going to work was awful. The biggest thing in the future is to watch my children grow and to guide them in life and hopefully raise them as decent human beings.
The question was have you had a good life if you die tomorrow and to date the answer is YES.

Honestly?
No. Not a chance. Ive had some Good times of course, but I couldn't say Ive lived like I should have.
Out of a billion Sperm. I was the fastest. But Im not sure one of the other guys wouldn't have done more with the oppurtunity than I have..

I used to think that, and still do largely, there is one or two things left that I would really like to do before I leave this place
Having been very close to it on a number of occasions, I can say at those times, I wasnt happy, and that at that point i hadnt a good life (in some respects) but after those events, i made sure I did the things I wanted to do, and made sure I enjoyed every minute as much as I could
Now, I would probably be about 95% happy if I went tomorrow, but its that 5% that I hoping to achieve one day
