Being a father is the highest honor bestowed upon a man. At the end of days the only thing that will matter is we did the best we could, with the time we had, on this earth. No time is better spent than raising children. I would challenge anyone to find a more fulfilling lives work.
During these economic times, most of us will continue worrying about an economy we cannot change from our living room. By turning off the negativity coming into our homes and projecting positive feelings to our families the world will be a better place – at least, in your house it will.
After a full day’s work instead of turning on the television for a few hours and zoning out – read to the kids, challenge them to a video game, throw the ball around outside, go for a bike ride, go for a walk and enjoy the honor that has been bestowed upon you. As all good things come to an end, so will these blissful moments with our children.
Dad Challenge:
Step 1: Sit down and write all the things you know about your children – right now.
Step 2: Take the next seven days and do not watch any television; instead, use the time to spend with your children.
Step 3: Sit down and write all the things you know about your children and compare the lists.
Step 4: Let us know how it all works out. Come back to this site and comment on your week.
