There is nothing better to me than Fatherhood.
I try hard to teach them HOW to make good decisions so that they won't make some of the bone head moves that I did when I was younger.
I work on leading by example so my sons can see my work ethic, how I communicate with others, how I solve problems, how I treat my wife and how we deal with arguments.
They also have learned how to prioritize their health through nutrition, supplements, exercise, and self care.
I treat parenting more as a consultant. I believe that the earlier your children learn decision making and how to think through life decisions, the better choices they will make.
So, I simply ask them questions to hear their decision making process and then we course correct if needed.
Something I read the other day is a priceless bit of wisdom that I'll never forget and I'll continue to pass down for generations...
"It's not your IQ that matters... It's your I CAN."
Powerful, right?
Take a moment today, be present, and hug your father figures a little tighter, and your kids/grand kids a little longer.
Life moves fast and you blink, and they aren't kids anymore. 🥹
Mine are now going to be 21 and 16 this year!
Wishing you a fantastic Father's Day!
