    Not having children could give you enough room in your life to forge great and powerful connections, and grow a large family of loved ones that will all be around as you begin to age. Not all families are blood families, after all. Children are an incredibly energy and time sink - if you choose not to have them, make the most of the time you’re saving.

    That being said, children make you better, or at least give you the chance to be better. For all the self-doubt I carried around, fatherhood burned it out of me. There is no stronger motivator, I believe, than having a life depend on your own.
