This is for all the Dads out there.
Our kids depend on us for all sorts of basic survival needs – food, clothing, shelter, etc. But what about one of their most critical survival needs? The need to grow up with a role model who will teach them through example.
What type of legacy are you leaving for your kids? One of health, strength, and responsibility or one of weakness and disregard for taking care of the only possession you ever truly own, your own body?
There’s no denying it, men as a whole are getting weaker. And to our own detriment as a society, as a nation, and as a world, we are progressively getting more and more comfortable with our weakness. It has become habitual for us to, and what is habitual becomes normal. But to be weak is not normal and should not be accepted as such. The sad fact though is that it’s considered abnormal to see a man in good physical condition over 40. Sometimes even over 30. When did this happen? Why did we as a society allow this to happen? But even more importantly, what are we going to do about it?
As a Dad you must be strong for others. Your hands have to channel strength to support, to help, to pick up, to carry and share burdens. From strength comes confidence. Brilliant self-confidence inspires others. Confidence radiates out like a beacon which draws others to you and which others draw support from.
Start setting that example and building that legacy today.
It’s never too late to start being Stronger Over 40 <<======
Get Strong and teach your children how to be strong – just like you!
Committed to Your Success,
Jon Haas – Dad 1st, Strength Coach 2nd
