Fatherhood GoldSample

Successful fatherhood begins with a foundation of good values.

Any builder will tell you that the foundation is vital to a home or building structure. A good foundation supports your home, helps it resist movement caused by natural forces, provides insulation, keeps moisture out, and prevents infiltration. Without a good foundation, you can expect to have problems.

The values we embrace and practice impact our lives daily, including how we love and lead our children. They guide our decisions and actions from the moment our kids are born and through every life phase, transition, and event we experience with them as fathers. Good values serve as anchors that help us stay true to ourselves and our calling as fathers. They create stability, keep us fulfilled and strong, provide structure and meaning, and help us to live stable lives.

When we intentionally sow good values, we reap the returns. As fathers, we are where our values have brought us, and we will be tomorrow where our values take us.

Imagine how much further you can go as a father if you make it a priority to live good values all the time. Imagine how much further in life your kids can go when they watch you model good values daily. Our ability to make a lasting impact and difference through the values we live may require a lot from us, but anything worthwhile is uphill. The return on investment it produces surpasses the effort and time we invest in living good values.

Living good values is essential to our lifelong journey as fathers. They equip and empower us to successfully love and lead our children. It's an enduring legacy that can pass on to generations and make a difference in the world.
