There is no greater responsibility that I am grateful to bear than that of fatherhood. 🤍 Children are like mirrors that show you parts of yourself you didn’t realize were so obvious. They make you care more. Want to change parts of yourself that you used to be okay with. Because once you realize that those faults — your faults — aren’t yours to keep for yourself, you start to care. It becomes worth it to change, because you’re not just hurting yourself anymore. ❤️‍🩹 Your health isn’t just about you. Your habits are an example. Exercise. Diet. Self talk. Anger management. Your children will copy you. 🪞 I love my children more than I ever knew I could. And I’m looking forward to growing that love every single day. ❤️
