Success can mean so many different things to so many people. Heck success was a moving target to me most of my life. From straight up money to then freedom, control and so many other things.. Until!! . Until I became a Father. Then that all changed. Success to me at this point of my life is being an engaged Dad who puts time with his kids above all else.. To empower them to be bad ass, successful and happy adults someday. . There were lots of things that were my driving force through the years to keep reaching that next level. But today I must say it’s the freedom of my time and the control of my decisions that push me the most.. And on this special day it makes me realize that those desires are based around being the best Dad I can be. . Use success and more money as the motivation to accomplish bigger things. Like being the best version of yourself for those you love. . Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there and remember there is no more important job in the world than being a Dad and the influence we get to share. . #dads #blessed #fathersday #truesuccess #fathers
