Dad, you are the key…. you the man… now be a man.
You must be intimately in touch with your mission, goals, and objectives as a family man, husband, and father.
This will require discipline, selflessness, living your priorities, and time management.
You will need to leverage the hours of your day and to be intentional and everything you do.
Time is the only resource you’re guaranteed to have.
The key here is to write down what you want… dream it, plan it, and do it.
The questions are…
- who are you
- what do you want
- why are you here
- what is not working, that you would like to see work
- what is happening now, that should like to see vanish?…
The answer to these questions will determine your” brand” as a father…
What brand are you now?
What brand do you want to be?
Thoughts on leaving a legacy in your heritage…
A good father transfers the following to his children…
- a love for God and people
- values
- ethics knowledge
- wisdom and understanding
- love and compassion
- good attitude and motivation
Great fathering requires us as dads to raise up kids in the way they should go.
They are individuals, not part of a cookie-cutter machine.
Therefore we need to work with kids on their level, meeting their needs, resourcing, respecting and fostering the individuality of each child.
We must study to know and then resource their gifts, bents, and skills. No two children are alike.
This all requires patience on our part to work on their level, one or two things at a time. Slowly, with a patient father’s heart.
