Good friends do NOT accept you as you are...I know that society wants you to think "you are perfect just the way you are..." but that's just a lie told to keep us stuck.

Good friends know there should be a part of you hungry for more... And they'll hold you accountable to finding it. Good friends know that needing help doesn't make you a failure. Good friends recognize your successes today. Finding this type of men can be tough. The world has done a good job conditioning this type of accountability out of us. Be a nice guy. The world needs more men who will call each other out, who will rock the boat & hold each other to a higher standard.

I know that when I got married, it certainly didn’t feel like I was gambling on a coin flip… Let’s add some additional info into the mix and present the math a bit differently… Yes, 50% of marriages end in divorce. In the book You Can Be Right...
I just got sidetracked at the grocery store for 20 minutes… I went in for one thing, thinking I’d be in and out quickly. (If you care, I was buying my wife flowers. Want some extra marriage advice? Buy your wife flowers. Like, today. Even just cheap grocery store flowers. I didn’t realize how meaningful this was to my wife, but it makes her happy for days.)

If you’re still struggling as a dad, it ISN'T because you haven’t read the right book, taken the right class, or watched the right documentary.It’s because you haven’t implemented what you've already learned.
