My dream is to be a dad.
It's kind of bittersweet when life throws you curve balls as it gives you perspective on what you really want.
I've achieved so much in my life but I've never had the opportunity of being a father, I guess I just assumed it would happen one day, as I'm coming up to my 38th birthday at the end of this month, I'm questioning will this ever happen for me in this life time.
I'm putting it out there that I believe being a father is actually the highest calling a man can have and I think many men are coming back to realizing having a family is sacred work.
I've always been super diligent on caring and protecting my animals, when Aleric was young he fell in pool at my old place as fence was waiting to be repaired he couldn't get out I dived in an scooped him out from that day onwards every morning I was in the pool with him teaching him to swim throwing him in the deep end and showing him where the step was to get out until I 100% knew if he fell in he would get out safely.
however I've never had the opportunity to have my own kids and it's strange I never realized how important it was to me, I got caught up in the world of entrepreneurship, personal development, travel and much more and whilst I loved it all deep down there was a desire for more.
I sometimes wonder if I'd even be a good dad as I never had one of my own and there are many manly skill sets I'm still stumbling and learning but I reckon I would show up to the next level because I know what I missed out on growing up.
It's also a mad excuse for me to play Lego, build Sandcastles and tree forts and just fully let out my inner child like in my Zoolander pose above.
Right now I'm working on myself, fixing up my financial situation learning all the skills I believe will be important to protect children in the new world and doing everything I can to keep this world as not only a safe place for kids to grow up but also one where they can fully be themselves and live in joy.
If I do have kids I will die on my sword to protect them.
So this message is one between me and the universe clearly owning that I want to be a father, and whilst I'm putting it out there I want at least two kids.
Now is time for me to do the work, own all my shadows, so when the opportunity comes for me to be a father that I am the best dad ever.
