Has anyone felt like you weren't able to fully pursue your potential due to limitations from your circumstances?
Ive been an active member my whole life and I love the Gospel. I've been blessed to be married to my wonderful wife and to have our children together. I would not change my path in life but when I read my patriarchal blessing I have a hard time seeing some of the things mentioned being possible within my circumstances.
My family is demanding of my attention and as a result I feel limited in my pursuit of a career that I believe is God's will for me. I want to support my family and they will always come first but I can't help feeling just a little bit of sadness that some of the things mentioned in my blessing might have to be left on the table. I know that he wants me to focus on my family first and understands my limitations. I also believe that he will provide opportunities if it is his will.
Its just hard after investing time and money to pursue my career, that I might need to set it aside. Has anyone struggled with these feelings and how did you come through it?
Edit: just to clarify, my career is mentioned in my blessing as a means of sharing the gospel through my example. This is the reason why I feel not pursuing my career to its full potential might be limiting me in fulfilling this promised blessing
