Almost 1 year of being a father
Here’s a few things I’ve learned
Your relationship with your wife is beyond important, put her first and make her life as easy as possible
Because your child grows up in the world you create together, the better your relationship is, the better everything else tends to be
Spending time with your daughter or son is the most productive thing you can do
You will have less time for work and life in general but you will learn to be better and more efficient with the time you do have
When you become a father, you have this constant proud feeling, you are building your family, you feel you’re on the right path
You care less about status games and impressing others, you just want your wife and kids to think you’re cool so you prioritise them and stop chasing others, ironically by doing this other people will think you’re cooler
From a fitness perspective, a lot of dads talk about fatherhood as if it’s the reason they got out of shape.
Sounds harsh, but in reality, most weren’t in great shape beforehand and they use fatherhood as an excuse, not good to blame family life, if anything it should motivate you
Your kids are watching, your wife is watching
And one day your son or daughter will decide what normal looks like by looking at you, so set the standard
Being a jacked, healthy dad who decides his own schedule is the ultimate flex in life
