When I'm a dad, I want to be fucking sick. Like, when I'm dropping my kids off at school, I wanna be fucking looking good, I'm gonna be jacked, I'm gonna be driving a nice car, I'm gonna be somebody that my kids will be proud of. So many people just don't respect themselves. You know, they let themselves become overweight, they treat themselves like shit, they don't accomplish their goals. That's really upsetting because what kind of example are you setting for your kids? I don't wanna live vicariously through my kids' life. Instead, I wanna show them that I always chased my dreams, that I respect myself, and that I've lived life to the fullest because when I do that, I know that my offspring will do that as well. But it starts with you. You need to be the example to them.
