"Did I want to make money? Sure! But that is not why I am here. I do not care about money anymore. I did the thing. I made personal sacrifices for more money. It was a mistake. I am so so sorry. I truly am sorry."

Regardless of anything else, this is a profound statement indicating serious thought about your values and people you care about. It's impressive in a world increasingly sucked into confusion about what truly matters and is valuable. It demonstrates the courage to be humble, and that is the foundation of wisdom.

Thanks!
