WHAT WOULD YOU DO FOR YOUR KIDS?
There has been numerous people say that their kids are their passion. That they would do anything for their kids. That they would die for their kids.
That is all great, but...
Would we get healthy for them?
Would we exercise for them?
Would we quite our bad habits for them?
Would we fix our sleep for them?
Would we be kinder to ourself, for them?
Would we live better for them?
Would we set boundaries in our life for them?
Would we be a great example for them?
Would we be willing to live a life that inspires our kids to give their life their best effort, not settle for the easy comfortable route, and to chase their dreams?
There is no question that we all love our kids. The question is, "What are we REALLY willing to do for our kids?" This is a hard truth to face, I know! I have had to face it myself.
The time this picture was taken I thought I was doing all I could for my kids. I thought that because I was working my ass off to help give them the comforts of life... A warm place to sleep, food on the table, Lots of Christmas gifts, and more that I was doing all I could for them.
I was totally missing out on what they needed the most. I was overweight from eating unhealthy and drinking too much beer..
Drowning my potential away with alcohol... Telling everyone else "Yes" all the time and putting myself last... I was hiding all the demons and my true feelings inside, and living my life trying to fit in with the normalcy of society around me.
It took me several years but I realized what my kids needed the most is a father who can show them that anything is possible if you work hard enough, stay determined, and never quit. My kids need more than anything in todays time that it is better to stand up for what is right, even if it means standing alone. My kids need me to be healthy, to be a great example, and to be a great inspiration for them.
I'm far from being a perfect father for my kids, but atleast now I'm on the right track. It wasn’t easy getting here... I had to have a heart to heart talk with myself, and face a lot of ugly truths, but now I can proudly say they are getting a better me.
It isn't about being perfect for our kids...
It's about being and doing the best that we can for our kids.
THEY DESERVE IT!
