Hey Reader, I posted a video the other day of Jagger throwing a bunch of balls at Dave and Buster's. He was targeting Cucuis and having the time of his life…
Instantly, my inbox was flooded with messages. People kept saying how much they couldn't believe he's grown. They repeated the old cliches about time flying. They said time's a thief and life happens way too fast. But I watched that video and realized something different… These last two years of my life haven't flown by at all. I've been more present than ever. It actually feels much longer than two years. The reason I'm sharing this with you is because of a harsh reality I noticed. We can physically watch our kids develop. But we can't mentally see how we're evolving. A lot of people settle into being the Ghost Parent. They're physically in the room, but their energy is completely drained. Look at your kid. Now look in the mirror. Are you growing as fast as they are? Use their birthdays as a timestamp. Last year, you were too exhausted to play tag. This year, you're chasing them across the yard without losing your breath. Pull up a photo of yourself from two years ago… Are you sleeping better, thinking clearer, and moving faster today? If not, it's time to fix the engine. Tomorrow morning, when your kid shows you something new they've learned, make a choice. Decide exactly what new habit you're going to build by this time next year. Let's grow together.
PS: What's one way you've mentally grown in the last two years? Hit REPLY and let me know. |
