A father realized he needed to model better habits for his kids. He cut his drinking, lost 25 pounds from 237, and reframed it as leadership, not fitness. Parents are always examples, in everything from health to money to how they handle stress.
I changed one specific thing within my family about 6 months ago, and it changed everything. And I hope you really get this. I woke up one day going, you know what, I am a leader of our family alongside of my wife as well. But I started to realize that I was drinking too much alcohol and I was not looking after my weight. And I got up to 237 pounds. And I was like, my daughters are watching me as an example. Yes, they can go completely 300, like 180 degrees to where I'm at, but I need to be an example for them. So then I jumped on a really big health kick and reduced alcohol. And released 25 pounds, and it's been amazing. That big epiphany for me was waking up being, I am a leader for my family. I'm an example for my children, no matter what their age. Doesn't matter whether they're in their formative years between 0 and 8 years old, or even if they're in their teens or even their 20s or 30s. Be the example you need to be to drive the results that you want in your family. That was the most eye-opening piece that happened for me in the last 6 months. I've always known this, but then realized everything I do, not just around business, money, and spirituality, but also my weight, alcohol, everything, I'm an example for my children, and I wanted them to see that I can be the great leader that I need to be for our incredible family. Sending love to your family, sending love to you as a leader. May you do things differently to be different, to achieve different, and be the amazing family you need to be.
