As someone who went through his thirties thinking he would never have kids, I now have a 5 month old daughter. I'm not going to say the cliché thing that it's the most amazing, life enriching experience. But it is really great and I'm so glad she's in the world now. Seeing her smile at me first thing in the morning gives me a joy that nothing else can give me.
Being a father is having the side effect of making me a more efficient time manager. I think I've been getting more done than ever before with the waking hours I have in a day, because I have a hustle in me that wasn't there before.
But if it's not for you, and you know it's not for you -- then no one should fault you for not doing it. There's purpose to a childless life also. Like if I was living near the beach in Brazil, playing guitar, painting, surfing and banging 21 year olds -- that would be just as purposeful.
