You're Not Prepared. Everything is about to Change. These Are The 7 Most Surprising Things That Happened When I Became A Father:
1. Unconditional Love If you know, You Know. If you don't, I'm sorry, because it's Amazing. Compassion and Forgiveness take on a whole new meaning. Gratitude becomes a Way of Life and not just something you practice from time to time.
2. The Euphoric Recall I started remembering Moments from my Childhood. Memories I was fond of and times I wasn't so thrilled about. This gave me many opportunities to Relive the Good Times and Heal Past Resentments. I was constantly reminded of how exciting Childhood is.
3. The Fun Any Time is Play Time! Every moment is a chance to flex your Imagination. Creativity and the State of Play reignite inside of you. Your Child-Like Curiosity is reborn, through the eyes of your Little One(s).
4. The Motivation You seek to become your Greatest Self. A Greater; - Role Model - Provider - Coach & Mentor A fire stirs that wasn't there before and you find a Cause Greater Than Oneself. A Purpose Beyond Yourself.
5. The Patience Nurturing the growth of your child teaches you to Respect The Process. Deep Breathing becomes normal. Thinking Greater Than You Feel becomes second nature. You can try to Resist, Force or Coerce, but I wish you the best of luck with that.
6. The Self Reflection You see yourself Reflect through your Children. And sometimes you don't like what you See. Now you have a Choice; Resent yourself and take it out on them, Or take Accountability and Become the person you wish your children to Be.
7. The Competitiveness I hate to say it, but I low-key Love it when my children outshine other kids. - Better Behaved - More Respectful - Extra Insightful This is one I should tame, a part of my ego that isn't necessary... But it's There. And I Love it. My Bad.
