the first step to being A Good Father is being present

find a way to be present...make the game, ask about a day, walk together, listen to a long ramble about randomness when you wish they'd get to the point

your engagement is an electric charge for their hearts

#fatherhood

the real alchemy is to take dark energy (your hurts, wounds, rejections, and the fear in the world) and flip it to light (healing, hope, encouragement, peace, grace, strength). You'll need help, and you can do it. You got this.

it is not always hard things that break free

the persistence of beauty is its own strength. dare to shine in the face of struggle

@jonrobertgibson down memory lane today-told my kids they need to hear your voice! Re-listening to Jesus Loves Ya, & Forever Friends. Man it brings me back. SFC/ Sup the Chemist was big for me too. Love your vocals on As the Sun Rises

Cheers & God Bless. Thanks for some good memories for me

You can’t heal yourself by hurting others

You won’t overcome rejection by rejecting others

Strong & soft. Be both

@FathomEnt Wow sounds like an inspiring story.

Not every father stays is a theme Strong Like Wildflowers deals with in hopeful and inspiring ways as well

I lied to apple, google and microsoft about my children’s ages to maintain parental controls. It seemed like an obvious hack to me.

All of my children are well adjusted, have a clear sense of self, serve their communities with generosity and have zero identity confusion

Funny how that works when parents, not the matrix, raise their children

It is possible. Just don’t let the machine dictate the rules

*Real strength only exists /IN/ humility (no blue check - can't edit the typo)
...

Escape the bondage of pride and embrace the power of releasing fear-based thinking

[Eric Thompson @EricTAuthor]

Some believe to apologize is to admit weakness & become less

This is backwards

Real strength only exists humility. It is cowardice which holds people in the chains of never being able to ask forgiveness or right a wrong

Strong people make ammends and show courage in doing so

[Eric Thompson @EricTAuthor]

If someone won’t see you and honor you, better to lose that relationship than to betray yourself. Being generous and gracious is not the same as being a doormat.

It stings to lose people, but it will be far more damaging to lose yourself

@KenGriffenLied Love it! Being present is world changing. Thanks for loving her!

[Eric Thompson @EricTAuthor]

We repeat cycles of brokenness or we break them. Each has a choice.

A 🧵

My great grandfather, my grandfather, and my dad all disappeared from their families in one way or another.

There was one key common theme among them...

@BrandonHRN89 Just seeing this. Thank you! 🙏

6/ Those who reject others to pursue self, are diving into wells of narcissism. A water which leaves both self & others parched.

While those who see, care for, & commit to others, create waters which flow for generations & which fill souls...
