I was watching smallville (go ahead and laugh) with this episode where Clark saves this cop from making a really bad decision and there was just this scene where the cop has the choice from going along with this plan and ruining his life or being the good guy and stoping his friends and ending the terrible sequence of events they've caused. I won't bore you with the whole plot line unless you want me to which in that case just post a comment and I'll be sure to email you!
Anyway...
The big message that Clark Kent was trying to get across to this cop is that he has a family, a wife and a kid, and is what he's doing right now make his family proud? Is this cop happy with the choices he makes and would his family be proud of these choices? And as sappy as it sounds, it made me think of my own family. Holy Crayola! Are you doing a good job?! Are the decisions that I make, the decisions that my son would be proud of me for doing? I'm not saying that I'm doing any sort of killing or any sort of mischief that would have my son question my morals. All I'm saying is, whatever decision it is that I do at that moment, how will it impact him later? What am I doing to provide for my family that will actually have a positive effect? If my son could talk, would he say how proud he is of me? Those questions I want to continue to swim inside of my head so I can always spot-check myself. I want to know that no matter what I decide to do with my life, my son will be proud of his father. 
And that's why that episode made me cry.
