Life is growth.
If we stop growing,
technically and spiritually,
we are as good as dead.

@MikeSchiff_ Great list, Mike!

2 is the underdog here - easy to underestimate its importance, but is the KEY to an abundance mindset.

[DadAthlon | Tim @dadathlon]

Make this a great week by working these into your daily plans:

Clarity > squishiness
Action > analysis
People > process
Your kids > everything else

"How did we get so blessed? We get to spend our lives together laughing and talking, living and loving, as partners, best friends and soulmates."

Text (or tag) this to your spouse.

Having a child doesn't make you a father.

What you do for the rest of that child's life is what makes you a father.

[DadAthlon | Tim @dadathlon]

@MikeSchiff_ @TonyRobbins Great thread!

Reminds me of coaching kids on how to throw a baseball:

9 times out of 10...

The balls goes in the direction you're LOOKING and STEPPING

@PatrickMignault Leaving a light on in every room in the house.

Their powers are so strong, I think they can even do it from school!

I even put together a presentation for them...

@BldgBetterDads 💯

Every single

-Kiss &
-Butt pat &
-"I'm sorry" &
-"I love you" &
-"Tell me more" &
-"Cry on my shoulder" &
-"I'll take care of the kids tonight"

...is a small thread in the beautiful tapestry of a solid marriage.

Routines are like bedrooms

Both are comfortable and involve repeated worthwhile behaviors

but

they get musty if you never open the windows.

Is today your day to shake up your routine to keep it fresh?

[DadAthlon | Tim @dadathlon]

Ever find yourself stuck in daily "ruts-of-comfort?"

Add something DIFFERENT to your day so you don't ossify into an uninteresting turd.

-Read something unusual
-Exercise differently
-NEW activity with kids

Fresh > stable

[Dad Jokes @Dadsaysjokes]

I was out with my young daughter and ran into a friend I'd not seen in years.

“This is Beth." I said, introducing my kid.

“And what's Beth short for?" he asked.

“Because she’s only three,” I replied.

As the 1st quarter of the year goes to commercial...

What mid-game adjustments are needed to more effectively

-Connect

for your family?

@MonkPhilosophy @mindsetmachine Simple visuals

Profound impact.

“I’m successful and healthy because my dad never had real conversations with me.”

-No kid ever

[DadAthlon | Tim @dadathlon]

Take time today to ask yourself

"How much or how well do I..."

-Eat
-Pray
-Drink
-Swear
-Laugh
-Set goals
-Apologize
-Work out
-Call my parents
-Respect my wife
-Dote on my wife
-Help others in need

Whether your answers are good or bad,

...Your kids will follow your lead
