You are important
If you have read my blog any at all you might guess that I would have a lot to say about the importance of fathers.
I would like to challenge all the current and future dads out there to take a moment and reflect deeply on your role. You have a generational impact on your family. How will you choose to make use of this responsibility? Will you run away seeking the shinny object in your life? This object could be your career, your hobby, your neighbor’s wife and any of the thousands of other distractions that get men off track.
Chasing the object will never match the importance or the joy you will get from a loving child that is looking to you for leadership and teaching.
The bottom line is that you are important!
Don't believe me? Check out the research
Still don’t believe me? Ask your wife or child’s mother
Still don’t believe me? Look into the eyes of your child and ask him/her
Our children and boys especially are experiencing a crises caused by a lack of positive father leadership.
You don’t have to be a superstar or a perfect person to be a great father!
Just step out and do your best. I think the results might just surprise you.
