Becoming All I can Become Is The Greatest Gift I Can Give My Family

Experienced this firsthand just now.

Asked my son to do a simple task; his effort was minimal. My frustration flared, and I responded with sarcastic instructions.

This is an area I've significantly improved in, yet there's still a part of it I'm working to eliminate.

But consider how many similar interactions he's experienced over the years?

Looking back over 18 years, what single focus would have made me the best father for him?

I often hear variations of this: 👇👇
"Working on myself is selfish; I only focus on the family."
"Too busy to focus on personal growth."
"No time for self-improvement, all energy goes to the family."
"Resources need to be focused externally, not internally."
"Spending all hours at work to provide, which leaves no time for self-work."

But what investment gives the greatest return for my son?

Will his life be better – his relationship with me stronger, his model for discipline and emotional regulation clearer, his habits healthier – if his father lets his own discipline slide and becomes complacent?

Not if I believe my son watches me closely.

Not if I believe his father is his greatest influence.

I must maintain my own discipline and practice emotional control so that in challenging moments, I project calm strength instead of frustration.

Becoming all I can become is the greatest gift I can give him.

🛡️If you've let your discipline slip and your habits, health, and identity are suffering don't stay there forever. Your family needs you at your best. YOU deserve to become your best.
